SEC Storied: Once Upon a Comeback - Dara Torres Documentary

[@doristiles3695]

I worked with Ms. Torres in the 90's on an extreme sports show for Discovery. The premise was, Dara went out and tried all these extreme sports with the experts. I would watch Dara before each filming about to do a sport she never did, and she approached it with all the intensity and effort she approached everything. She gave it her all, and awesomely kicked butt on the experts. They doubted her, or tried to act superior or said "oh, we do this for years, don't expect much of yourself" She took it with grace and good humor, and then she would SLAY it, typically on her first try. It was empowering and hilarious to watch. Over and over, snowboarding, river boarding, kayaking, motocross..you name it. She was supremely coachable, heard what was said, and applied it immediately to her body. I respected Dara and saw a very unique and fun individual. She was as kind as she was talented.

Why not make it more accurate? "THE PAC 12 STORIED" Since Stanford, USC and UCLA have won more National Championships in all sports than the rest of the SEC or any conference combined. Sure the SEC is great. Just try to tell a more accurate truth.
