Clair Marie Tedx Talk | BASE jumping and challenging social boundaries to follow your dreams

in sports •  7 years ago 

I am a female in a very male dominated, professional, extreme sports industry. I am a professional BASE jumper and Mountain bike racer. I've faced a lot of criticism and judgement in the past for my sports. So many people told me that I would never be a BASE jumper. Over the years I have developed a passion for sharing my story with the hopes that others will push through the social and self perceived boundaries and limitations we all face. Challenging societies idea of normal and following their goals and dreams no matter the outside opinion.

This was my first time ever public speaking, It was one of the scariest and most thrilling things I have ever done believe it or not. Stepping on stage in front of the 3,000+ people to share my story was a moment I will remember for the rest of my life! I hope you enjoy!
