I was called a waste of space. I was told I was too old. Too tall. Too weak. The wrong body type. The opinions of others do not define who you are or what you are capable of doing. You have to choose to believe in your dreams. You have to choose to work hard every day. You have to choose to walk through the pain and difficulty that will stand in your way. It’s not easy. But it is possible. This video is from World Cup in 2006. I finished 4th but was doing brand new huge dives like this 207B (back 3.5 somersault pike). My goal was always to push myself to my absolute limit- not the limit others told me was there, but rather the one I was striving to reach that I created in my own head. If I had listened to the doubters, I would have been done before I ever really got started. **For the non-divers, this was pretty revolutionary. Only maybe 3 women to my knowledge have ever done this dive. Still 16 years later it’s not being performed by women.** #olympian #breakingbarriers #women...
