Taormina is firm about making Michigan her permanent home for living and training. Others have told her to move to improve her strength and endurance through increased outdoors training. This is my home. I want to do good here. I see so many things I can do and be because of the Olympic experiences I've had.
Olympians are just people, too.
What I try to do is convince every one around me that I'm not a hero. There is a little Olympian in every one of us. You just have to connect with what makes you strong and principled and go for it.
