> most devastating of all: abuse at the hands of her childhood coach.
>
> Instead of being crushed by the situation, Kayla developed a champion's
> attitude. And used her struggles as fuel to pursue — and achieve — her
> dreams. Here are some key lessons from her story:
>
>    1. *Turn Adversity into Strength:* Kayla didn't let bad times or
>    traumatic events stop her. Instead, she used them as a catalyst for growth
>    and victory.
>
>    She showed us that our past defeats can ignite the fire for our
>    present triumphs. In her own words, Kayla’s journey proves that “nothing
>    can stop you.”
>
>    2. *Find a Supportive Team:* Recognizing the importance of a strong
>    support system, Kayla and her mother sought reputable and safe coaches.
>
>    They found Jimmy Pedro Jr. and his father, who rebuilt her confidence
>    and trained her to be a champion.
>
>    Kayla credits her success to the Pedros and her teammates, who

>
>    The acrostic for T.E.A.M. is so true: “Together everyone achieves
>    more.”
>
>    3. *Celebrate Progress:* Achieving dreams is a process that rarely
>    happens overnight. Kayla emphasized the importance of small steps and
>    celebrating minor victories.
>
>    Her climb to becoming a multiple gold-medal winner involved countless
>    moments of support and hard work from her team and herself, one step at a
>    time.
>
>    4. *Visualize Success: *To this day, Kayla will say that visualizing
>    victory is key to her success in life and in the ring.
>
>    She shared, “We practice a lot of visualization, and every night
>    before I go to sleep, I would walk through my day and I would picture my
>    journey in the Games and I would picture every moment of it. So, to have it
>    happen, to have that clock tick down, to have it say, ‘Kayla Harrison,
>    winner,’ was amazing.”
>
>    I can really relate to Kayla on this. I’ve used visualization a
>    million times throughout my life. And so can you. It’s three easy steps:
>
>    1. Decide what you want
>    2. Picture the scene
>    3. Imagine each step toward your successful conclusion
>
>    5. *Share Your Story: *Realizing that many athletes faced similar
>    struggles, Kayla began sharing her story to help others confront their
>    fears and achieve their goals. She aims to be a source of support and
>    inspiration, just as the Pedros and her fellow teammates were for her.
>
>    6. *Persevere:* Kayla’s message is clear: "Never give up on your
>    dreams." Despite her challenges, she is now living her dream life, which
>    includes being the mother of two beautiful children. Her story shows that
>    with perseverance, anyone can achieve their dreams.
>
> Kayla’s story of success can inspire all of us. No matter what our
> situation, no matter what we’ve been through — as long as we keep on trying
> and keep on working, we can reach our goals.
>
> Deborah, I hope you enjoyed and were empowered by Kayla’s “champion
> attitude.” We were, and still are! I hope you also enjoy the 2024 Paris
> Games!
