Скачать или смотреть What One Pull-Up Taught Me About Resilience | Angela Gargano | TEDxRound Rock Women

Most women grow up believing they “can’t” do a pull-up — but the pull-up itself was never the real problem. In this TEDx talk, 6-time American Ninja Warrior and former biochemist Angela Gargano reveals how the pull-up becomes a metaphor for every hard thing we avoid in life: the dream we delay, the challenge we fear, the version of ourselves we stop reaching for.

Through powerful stories of women in their 30s–70s, Angela dismantles the myths of “I’m too old,” “I’m too heavy,” and “I’m too weak,” showing how working toward an “impossible” skill rewires not just your body, but your beliefs.

The pull-up isn’t just a strength goal —
it’s a mirror for what’s possible when you choose courage over certainty, consistency over perfection, and conviction over confidence.

Whether your “bar” is a literal bar or a life goal you’ve been scared to start, this talk will challenge what you think you’re capable of. Angela Gargano is a performance coach, keynote speaker, and 6-time American Ninja Warrior known for helping people redefine what’s possible. Her work on resilience, confidence, and women’s strength has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Women’s Health, and MindBodyGreen. A former biochemist turned athlete and entrepreneur, Angela has coached thousands of women through her signature pull-up method and speaks globally on courage, mindset, and the power of doing hard things. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
