"  Most 16-year-olds dream of getting a driver&amp;#039;s license. Gabby Douglas dreams of a gold medal...and it just might happen! This champion gymnast is the 2012 All-Around silver medalist, and is currently training for the U.S. Olympic Trials at the end of the month! Luckily, Seventeen was able to steal her away from the gym long enough to ask a few questions. Get the deets on this gymnast&amp;#039;s go-to snack food, celeb crush, and more! Seventeen: What would making the U. S. Olympic gymnastics team mean to you? GD: Making the team would mean so much! I&amp;#039;m the youngest one competing and I&amp;#039;m African American. I think that would just inspire people and inspire a nation. I would love to be a role model. 17: What is a typical day like for you? GD: I wake up at about 9 a.m., and have a few hours of school or time to relax. Then, I have practice at 2:30 p.m. with my team. We warm up, do some conditioning exercises, stretch, and then do our floor events. Practice lasts about four hours. Then I go home to eat dinner and relax!  17: How do you mentally prepare yourself to do such complicated routines before you compete? GD: I sit in the hotel room and have a little downtime. I need to relax, close my eyes, and picture each perfect routine that I&amp;#039;ve been doing in the gym. Sometimes I like to watch videos of myself and see how confident I was. It&amp;#039;s mainly visualization. 17: Do you have any rituals or a mantra that you use to pump yourself up before a competition? GD: I used to have this lucky rock and I used to always have to rub it three times before I competed. 17: Gymnasts always seem to have their hair done so perfectly! How do you get it to stay in place? GD: We use a lot of hairspray and gel. We put it in a ponytail and slick it back. I like to wear Aussie Freeze Spray. 17: What would you say is your food indulgence? Is there one snack you really love? GD: The one snack I really love is YoCrunch yogurt. It&amp;#039;s like an apple pie in a cup! You have your apples on the bottom, your yogurt in the middle, and piecrust crumbs on top. 17: What type of guy do you usually crush on? Are you into athletic guys? GD: I think I would go for a Michael Phelps kind of guy. Watch Gabby compete for a spot on the U.S. Olympic gymnastic team June 29, 9-11 p.m. ET and July 1 9-11 p.m. ET!
