0:00Tell us about competing with a growing family
0:00USA
0:00For the longest time,
0:02it was just about the medals.
0:04Although it's still about that.
0:06Yes, I want to win, but
0:07I really want to show my boys
0:09like, what it takes to achieve
0:10whatever you want to achieve.
0:11Both of my sons are deaf
0:13and my eldest
0:14also has Down syndrome.
0:15We don't have a history
0:17of deafness in our family,
0:18so it was all a surprise to us
0:20when we had our children.
0:21But it has been
0:23the best surprise
0:24imaginable
0:25because we're thrown into this world,
0:27trying to figure out not only how to navigate it,
0:29but also how we can advocate.
0:31How could I use my position
0:32as an athlete
0:33to advance disability even further?
0:35I want to show them
0:37that you can overcome anything that life throws at you.
