“I am interested in things that are challenging. I like to figure things out while understanding them. Pole vaulting is so complicated to master, that it brings me satisfaction when I know that something has stuck in my mind. I like anything that makes me think.
Also, I wish I had the answer to help people find out that they don't have to score points all the time. I want to be able to help people understand that winning is not always important." Kristen
