I don’t run away from a challenge because I am afraid. Instead, I run toward it because the only way to escape fear is to trample it beneath your feet.
Nadia Comaneci
You might think: Who in the world is Nadia Comaneci, and why is she headlining your blog? Glad you asked! Nadia is a former gymnast who competed in the Olympic games in 1976 and 1980. This girl from small-town Romania was the very first Olympian to ever earn a “Perfect Ten” on a gymnastics routine (uneven bars, Montreal, 1976). As if that wasn’t enough of an achievement, she went on to earn SIX MORE perfect scores in 1976, two more in 1980, and a total of nine Olympic medals.
