Don't Put an Age Limit on Your Dreams
Prior to the Summer 2008 Olympics most of us did not know the name ‘Dara
Torres.’ During those games she infused a breath of fresh air into every
person over 40 who ever faced a challenge. At the age of 41, this single
mother of a two-year-old daughter was the first US swimmer in history to
compete in five Olympic games. She made America proud and anyone over
40 want to pound their chest when she won a silver medal in each of her
three races in Beijing: the 50 meter freestyle, 4×100 medley relay, and
4×100 freestyle relay.
Following the games, Dara was reunited with her daughter Tessa after
having been separated for seven weeks as Dara prepared for the Olympics.
Tara reminded America upon her return that the most important place for her
is home with her daughter. Unmistakably Dara has exceeded the pinnacle
of achievement as an athlete yet she has not lost sight of what is most
important. She understands good life balance.
Dropping off her daughter for her very first day of pre-school, Dara was
cheered by the teachers for her three silver medals which was bitter sweet
because she lost out for the gold in one of her races by only one one-
hundredth of a second. How does one even measure that?
"It doesn't gnaw at me a little, it gnaws at me a lot!" she said in a recent
interview, and hinted she's considering swimming at the 2009 World
Championships in Rome. Clearly, she also hasn’t lost her edge.
I think the most meaningful quote in all of the Summer 2008 Olympic games
was the one Dara Torres made as her relay team was interviewed by NBC
after she won her third medal for the 4×100 freestyle relay. She was asked
what she would tell Tessa about that night in the years to come.
Dara took a thoughtful pause and said, “You don’t have to put an age limit on
your dreams.”
Pretty much says it all.
What are your dreams? What have you done today to get there? Start now!
