From gymnastics to pole vault via a broken back | What Moves Me

Olivia McTaggart, New Zealand pole vaulter aiming for her first Olympics, felt crushing disappointment when she broke her back after years of dedication to professional gymnastics and was told she would never compete in the sport again. She shares the importance of taking a step back and having a positive mindset to allow yourself to discover new passions you may not have considered before.

I don’t know why this was on my recommendation but I’m very glad I watched it.She is a very inspiring young lady.Just watched her story clip. It reminds me of a young wrestler ( I call him my son)who broke his back in a 4 wheeler accident.Just like her they don’t know what quit means.He today is a wrestling coach in Oklahoma.She should be very proud of herself. You go young lady.🏆🥇

I had the honour to meet Olivia last weekend in Belgium, and to have a photo with her🙏 She's a very friendly person👌 I'm sure that she's gonna keep improving in her jumps💪

[@supritimaiti6326]

Such a bright young lady! Keep doing what you love.

[@WarrenMillerPV]

I'm so here for pole vaulters getting a voice on the Olympic Channel! It's annoying that our sport doesn't get the recognition it deserves but thank you Olympic channel for at least getting one of our stories out there!

[@rueliligan2801]

I've a lot of things from this very beautiful lady of new zealand...She is very willing to make her dreams turn into reality no matter how hard it is,no matter how big the problem is... She is very possitive person... Lesson: If we want to become successful whatever we want to be in ourlives we must be possitive ...don't be pessimistic...do something for the goal that yov want to reach... Olivia thank you so much for sharing your experienced ...it make me motivated... I love you and may God bless you and to your family...

Stuff like this brings tears to my eyes.........

[@anthonyguglielmo3708]

I LOVE that saying It is EASIER to fix a BROKEN back than a BROKEN SPIRIT....... Being that I have had Chronic Back PAIN That NEVER goes AWAY for over 27 years I can relate to your health issues..... When my PAIN is at its WORSE I tell myself.... PAIN is WEAKNESS LEAVING my BODY....... When you CONTROL YOUR MIND YOU can do AMAZING THINGS....

@@billy-ps7jz oh little boy... you have a LOT to learn, other than popular social media fad terminology. I bet this will get you some Likes with your buddies, am I right?!. Obviously you are not an athlete and have gone thru something similar, otherwise you wouldn't troll like that and actually agree with the sentiment no matter Who it is.

Simply gorgeous. Thanks for the words!

[@Ethan.s..]

Good job Olivia!

[@Hibernicus1968]

What's interesting is that what she was forced into is actually a much more genuine sport. Winning or losing is not up to a panel of judges who decide on who looked best during a routine, and can make calls based on all manner of purely subjective criteria; winning or losing is a matter of totally objective performance. Either you vaulted higher than your competitors or you didn't. Either you cleared the bar or you didn't. The matter is far more straightforward and quantifiable.

[@nordenscan14life34]

I never knew she was so inspirational. I see her in a new light, now.✨

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

I could tell by the way the plates went on so easy they were not 45's (LBS) , I froze the video , they are 10KG which is a little over 20LBS. All total close to 90LBS including bar. Not bad for a partial lunge.
