Don't ever let someone else push their limiting beliefs onto you. Nobody should ever try to dull your sparkle and your dreams. Through my training as a Personal Trainer and Pole Athlete for 15 years,  I started learning that the human body is an incredible engine that is powered by the fuel you feed it, the way you treat it and most of all your mind. This combined with the people I have worked with and the experiences I have had has lead me to learn that if you truly believe in yourself and your own potential you CAN defy genetics, zero experience, no ‘natural talent’ (is anyone actually born being able to do a back flip?) and most definitely other peoples poor comments. If you want something badly enough and your prepared to learn and put in the hard work you can and will  achieve incredible things! 

Yes genetics can be a factor in how quickly we excel at something. But you CAN excel at anything you put your mind to! The fact that I was slightly taller than average (I m now 5 foot 8) did not mean I couldn’t be amazing and keep enjoying the sport I loved! Look at Usain Bolt, he broke the ‘normal’ for that sport and look what he achieved!
