Pickett and Paternoster, both New Jersey natives, they met when they were young and coached in their respective sports.
«We started training in this place when I was like 12 and Amy could have been 10, so I just kind of grew her from there,» Pickett told People magazine in an interview published Monday.
«We never spoke, and then she went to Princeton and I went to Pitt. We came home on a break from college and we saw each other at a party and hit it off.»
