Yes, I will be using this video in another “fails” reel sometime soon bc quite frankly I think it’s going to look hilarious with some music. But on a more serious note, I think this particular fall is a good representation of some of the mental battles athletes and really all humans fight everyday. It’s hard to recover after those small mistakes, to let go of the past and focus on the present. I struggle with this a lot: I find that when I lose myself in the search for perfection, it’s hard to fight anything less-than. When I mess up, I just want a restart. But when it comes down to it, I know that to truly improve— at least as fast as I want to improve— I need to squeeze the most out of every moment. Get back up, don’t put it off until the next opportunity. The time is now. Putting this out here as a little reminder for myself, and anyone who needs to hear it 🤍 #figureskating #icedance #fall #fail #olympics #skating #motivation #inspiration #athlete #wegetup
