Shawn Johnson Work Quotations

Critique the performance, and respect the hard work put in.

I usually work out 4 hours a day during the week and 5 to 6 hours on Saturday, with Sundays off.

A typical practice consists of practicing every event for about an hour. A lot of people assume I have private coaching, but I work out with 13 other girls at the gym!

It is scarier now than ever. I need to work out as hard as possible now or I won't be able to achieve my goals. It is scary that any little slip could damage everything. I need to be careful with my health just to make sure I can push it that hard so I can make it.

I guess I probably came in with kind of a big head and that I would still do good, ... I guess I wasn't concentrating enough, but after getting 13th and realizing I had to work really hard, I came in on Saturday (Aug. 13) knowing what I had to do. There were little things I could have done better (on Thursday). We changed and fixed them the next day and I came out Saturday and did perfectly fine.
