When I tell people I
I’m a professional skateboarder
the first thing that happens is that
they do not believe and the second thing is
that in 90% of the cases people talk ah
I already tried to skate
but I fall when you here already
try to skateboard sometimes
practically everybody then I go
tell you what happened when
I tried climbing on skateboard.
I fell and hurt and some time later
to have healed, I got the plaster out
of the leg
I went there was again and I continue
Come on, after a while I
I participated in my first championship and
I stayed in penultimate cap
last was the penultimate
This aroused in me the feeling of self.
I can not be that bad because
day by day the year well but at the time of
championship I stayed there for the last
I need to do something to change it.
I need to do something to improve
and then the first lesson I learned from
the skate was you will fall you go
fall the whole time you will fall more
than you will stand and it is for
what learning to fall is more
important than learning to learn
standing and the second thing that
you need to know is what motivates you
stand up because to lift you
need to have a motivation and you have
Get up fast and try again.
this is a half-imaginary graphic of
The days I skateboard on a day that I
I’m quiet and flights in focus.
professional I spend 50% of the time
resting 31% hitting and 18% cain
Now, on a day when I’m going to try
challenging maneuver I’ll step 89 by
cent falling 10% and resting and 1%
hitting that 1% is equivalent to 5
seconds
in the other three hours
walking I ‘m just committing
an error behind the error and joining these
two things that are the days of zone of
comfort and the days that you pull yourself a
little more because things usually
happen when we leave our
comfort zone is generating
evolution and this is the reason for
to continue to seek evolution is to be
better tomorrow than I was yesterday but
without losing focus on the present
enjoying my moment and not thinking
what has happened or what is
to happen
I think my best move is to
that is always coming
I never settle for what I’ve done
I always look for new and I think I
I get overtaken every day and every
The time I year
that makes me a person
open to new opportunities and
learn from my own mistakes and
seek new knowledge and is
open to people who have something
to teach or situations that have
something to teach me too and
I think this is a feature in
of people who are successful
at the moment of the championship a
peculiar fact
you suddenly listen to music
You stop to see the people who
are all around you and only what matters
What do you have to do and is it a thing?
that I could not explain to
You are something that has to be
felt like a woman in sports
predominantly male
it could be a limitation but it ended
being my greatest strength because I
I was always sure that what I
was doing was good your sure
first in anything that you
to do is to explore the territory
There’s no kills, you do not know what’s going on.
to happen later
It’s challenging but it’s not impossible.
it’s not impossible he just never went
done before but someone has to go there and
do and it’s worth it because then you
realize how much it inspires other
people to come after you
to do the same
another question they always ask me
I suffered prejudice if prejudice
there is the prejudice there is obvious
only I realized that the whole time
I was distracted from being more focused on
maneuvers that I was going to learn or
championships that I wanted to win the
attention to him then somehow
he was chasing me and I was giving olé
dealing with tools I thought
be the best because I realized that
change is not rational
She’s political so I ‘ve always tried.
call dealing with intelligence instead of
strength and response to these people
came not in the form of words but in
event form
the skateboard from 2009 to 2015 went from 4
millions of practitioners to 8.5 million
of practitioners and 19% are girls and
people also ask me if I
I’m not afraid and it’s obvious that I have
I’m not scared I’m crazy
only I do not keep thinking about fear
every time I dropped what I put
my skate in the foot
I think I’ll fall on your face I
I think I ‘m going to stay upstairs and I’m going
hit me also ask if I have
shame and I was very ashamed
only I realized that people
were also busy doing the
things and they were not looking
both for me and I thought she
was
we have a mania to think that people
is the center of the universe, right?
but I think I learned from every mistake
Every time I fall I realize
that I was closer to the hit
every time I wandered I knew what I
had to not do and I understood which
was the way to get on my
goal
ie I conclude that my next
maneuver my best maneuver she goes
arriving is only a matter of time and
persistence
