サッシャ・ディギーリアンさんのインスタグラム写真 - (サッシャ・ディギーリアンInstagram)「Happy National Girls and Women in Sports Day; an important reminder to acknowledge the transformative powers of sport on the lives of girls and women, and an encouragement to continue the fight for progress and equality. — Photo from @usaclimbing (JCCA at the time) junior nationals in Richmond, VA in 2003. Climbing has taught me many valuable life lessons, including an understanding for perseverance, goal setting, discipline, achievement, and importantly, failure. — I was 10 in this photo, and desperately wanted to make the junior national team. I slipped in finals, finishing at the bottom of the round, and I harshly learned the reality that you don’t always get what you wish for; or even work for... but if you persevere, you can achieve even greater feats. — Let’s work to #keepherinthegame — P.S. All of the competitors in this competition were required to wear the event shirt — however, when I put it on (there were just size L left) I was still swimming in the much too large t-shirt. My mom spent the night cutting the shirt’s sides and bottom and sewing it together to fit my little frame, so that I wouldn’t be encumbered by its size. My mom didn’t know much about climbing at all when I first began; but she recognized my love for the sport, and put all of her efforts forward to help me embark on a journey to realize my wild dreams. It’s cliche, but thank you to my mom; and to all the moms, dads, and community members invested in propelling your girls forward 🧗🏼‍♀️ PPS... rocking some @fiveten_official dragons 🐉 #ngwsd #womenshealth」2月4日 1時01分
