She won the first three bouts by ippon, the judo equivalent of boxing’s knockout.<br><br>As a result, she won America’s first-ever gold medal in judo!<br><br>But as impressive as Kayla’s Gold Medals and subsequent MMA career have been, it was the personal journey she made that Gena and I have never forgotten and continues to be a model and motivator for millions.<br><br>She achieved her dreams after overcoming a number of personal challenges — most devastating of all: abuse at the hands of her childhood coach.<br><br>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: <o:p></o:p></span></p><ol start=1 type=1><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><strong><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Turn Adversity into Strength:</span></strong><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'> Kayla didn't let bad times or traumatic events stop her. Instead, she used them as a catalyst for growth and victory.<br><br>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.”<br> <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><strong><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Find a Supportive Team:</span></strong><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'> Recognizing the importance of a strong support system, Kayla and her mother sought reputable and safe coaches.<br><br>They found Jimmy Pedro Jr. and his father, who rebuilt her confidence and trained her to be a champion.<br><br>Kayla credits her success to the Pedros and her teammates, who motivated her every step of the way.<br><br>That’s why I’ve always believed we all need a team of people around us who support, love and encourage us in a host of ways: mentally, physically, spiritually, etc.<br><br>The acrostic for T.E.A.M. is so true: “Together everyone achieves more.”<br> <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><strong><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Celebrate Progress:</span></strong><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'> Achieving dreams is a process that rarely happens overnight.

So, to have it happen, to have that clock tick down, to have it say, ‘Kayla Harrison, winner,’ was amazing.”<br><br>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:<br><br>1. Decide what you want<br>2. Picture the scene<br>3.
