When I turned 30, due to my father's heart history and my family genetics, I vowed to start seeing a cardiologist every year and just really be proactive and take my own heart health into my own hands.

It's never too late to take your heart health seriously and make it a priority.

I always did think that when I turned 40, I'd start coming into my own.

I just want to create my own history.

I don't compete with other discus throwers. I compete with my own history.

They told me that I had a leaky valve, which is something that is certainly not life-threatening. It's common and it's something that had I not known about it, would I have lived? Sure. But it's something that I think is important to know, especially as I get older and given that I have heart disease in my family.
