Coming from an athletic background, the scientific aspect is a really big part of understanding beauty and how the body works.

I played sports growing up in high school.

I get so busy that I forget to eat, and that's really hurt me in the past. I gained weight from that.

I think a lot of women have back problems.

As an example, one of the schools I have been studying is too small to compete effectively in most sports, but participates with vigor each year in the state music contests.

As a young girl, football is where I met the people who, to this day, are my best friends. It is also where I began to learn about the important relationship between hard work, teamwork, and fun.

We might not make what athletes in other sports make, but we have greater longevity and we do have certain freedoms to do things they can't do. Like stay home one week and play the next week.

I love sports, OK? But I think we really need to take it on ourselves to not be so crazy about sports, not to risk someone's future just because we think they might be the next star.
