Mi vida a 6 metros de altura – My life at 6 meters height | Karla Vera | TEDxHumboldtMexicoCity


[Music]

agility courage bravery and discipline

diversity confidence overcome

these words were not selected

randomly these words rule in my life

very young my parents always me

they pushed to practice many sports

practice all kinds of sports try

ballet jazz gymnastics I even tried

football but the only sport that

he wanted to return to train all

the days to be able to improve and follow

going forward

was the truncheons had ever

heard about the cheers that are

the truncheons because the best known as

chile living started in the united states

around the eighties with a

group of men in the university of

minnesota cheering the rostrum

during a football game

the first women cheerleaders were

admitted until after twenty years

later and you will ask

encourage the grandstand that puts them more

familiar the term animate souls

what is certain what comes to them

the mind is quickly compones

megaphones girls screaming

yes, but we are much more than that

there are different perspectives of what

that are the cheerleaders one of them

figure will know her is the famous

cowgirl dallas we all know

the cowherdies of the girls with

dancing pompoms cheering the match

soccer

there is also another perspective

there is also the perspective in which

the cheerleaders are thrown

meters high while running turns

in the air there are cheerleaders who throw

a person six meters tall to

that they execute their acrobatics elche el

Living requires different

skills like gymnastics dance jumps

lifts all kinds of acrobatics and

chiles we put all our time

life at risk and we literally have the

life of a person in our hands

good something that happens to me a lot

when I meet someone new and we’re

normal talking to me ask me hey do you

some hobby messes and I make an iweb

it happens has said that a truncheon or team

souls

no sir the truth is that it gives me

afraid to say that sport practiced by the

simple fact that always good and almost

the same thing always happens to me and he reacted

two ways one of two or less young I

I’m going another one because he explained three hours

passionately

what is the difference between your

stereotype of movie cheerleader and

I really do not think we look alike

a lot to the cheerleaders that we see

in movies not all cheerleaders

we must be thin to be able

belong

not all cheerleaders are stupid and

much less all men cheerleaders

that belong to the team are

homosexuals we do not support the

stereotypes do not follow the stereotypes

remember that I told you that the first group

of cheerleaders registered in history

was formed by men because there

have to continue

I want to ask you the next question

you knew that Mexico recruits every

year to the best cheerleaders in the country

to form a Mexican team if

mexico has a Mexican selection of

cheerleaders and this Mexican national team to

over the last five years has

managed to win 11 bronze medals and

one silver and six gold medals in

World Championships

the mind in three categories like the

Chile, what we saw in the video

dance the pom

this is what I ‘m passionate about is what

that rules in my life

you will tell when it is made of

be crazy to keep doing the same

after eleven years

Well yes I am a little bit what it does

three months I had one we are in a

normal training practicing

celebrations a few rises

I fell I felt a very strong pain in my

left ankle

he turned to see my ankle and was

practically my foot out of place

the physiotherapist going to the gym

he managed to rearrange it and what followed was

very strong for me because it was coming

one of the most important competitions

of my career that was the world a

broken ligament good partially broken

not so broken and a plaster

I was several weeks with a cast and for

me that was very strong because being

so close to achieving the goal for me that

It was one of my second championships

world

I saw everything collapse the frustration that

I felt at that moment of truth it was

awesome I said when all my

summer to the trash

I will not be able to do everything that he contributed

what I was struggling but everything

that all the hard work that was

put in the workouts was not hand

I had to get up and fast

fortunately, he got out fast from that

injury and a month ago it was a my second

world championship

I only had two months to recover from

the injury but not old age and yes

so I want you to learn from the

cheerleader standing in front of you here and

of my few years of experience is that

what more do you what more if

you do what more if you do it

it gives you long for more gasoline will

to get ahead very easy

you’re going to get away 1.5 because it’s going a bit

hand in hand with the previous

Find your gasoline like I told you

find something that is that you add that

it always has more number 2

surround yourself with people who are waiting for you

inspire more of the actors than to

me more has helped me to continue

forward in this sport is that in my

gym bbva very talented people and

whenever I see them and say

wow when I grow up I want to be like

they three sets a goal also one of

the things that have helped me the most

I can leave to improve my

Acrobatic skills is setting goals

realistic small goals that go

forming a very large path and that at

final help me to reach a goal

final number 4

He works hard and be disciplined nothing

it arrives by good luck nothing really arrives

luckily I believe in hard work

because I have lived it and that you

they work hard to get what they

you want

they will achieve it

everything you propose can become

reality fulfills your dreams two goals to

achieve your dreams

there is nothing that the

only difference between a self of

two years I watched a championship

worldwide as something that only looked at

the TV and millo of today was the simple

strength of simple discipline the simple

mental and physical determination that I had

and I just want to share this with you

thank you very much

[Applause]
