You got to get to that point, and you got to make the jump with the jump rope.

It can be a real challenge, so I have been trying to get through it. I started the year with a broken right leg that required surgery. I missed the off-season, the summer, training camp and the competition that count the most. But I've been through it all.

And I'm still working my way back. And I have the support of a number of friends and family. There's not a day that goes by, not a moment that I don't think about it. You can't look at a bright day and have a dark day. It's just going to come around. And I've been dealing with it for so long, and not giving up. But I'm trying to push through it and be where I want to be.

The last time I missed a jump – which is very rare this late in the season – it went like this: I did not jump high enough and the rope caught my foot. It can happen to anyone but with a bit of practice of new jump rope techniques and some ropeflow improvement is possible.
