Gymnastics taught this huge life lesson every single day. There were plenty of skills I was afraid of or even terrified to do, but there was always two choices - fear or courage. One day my coaches said hey Carly let’s try a new dismount off the balance beam. We think you’d be really good at it. Me, being up to give anything a try once…I said sure what are you thinking? A round off backhand-spring double arabian - oh and by the way no one in the world has done this dismount before and the value of this skill is a Super E (which means it’s the most difficult level skill you can do)🙃 We worked on it every day until we eventually got it added to my routine and I started competing it. At the 2003 World Championships I was the first one to ever compete this dismount in the world and on an international stage. The skill got named after me and is now forever in our gymnastics code of points as “The Patterson”. You can let fear hold you back or you can let courage in the face of fear propel you forward…and who knows maybe even make up a skill of your own along the way😉 You can still be brave and be afraid. You can still be scared but choose to be courageous and take the first step. Think about that fear that is holding you back right now and choose to be courageous! #keynotespeaker #FromBestToBetter #fear #courage ##seeagency #carlypatterson #gymnastics」6月23日 3時19分
