The Eternal Battle of Ronda Rousey
Society allows itself many associations of ideas, suggesting that certain disciplines are reserved for men and couldn't possibly imagine for a single moment seeing a woman in them... But wait until one comes along to prove them all wrong, and trigger a shift in each of our narrow minds. I'm talking here about Ronda Rousey, a woman who has always fought against life's barriers and against numerous opponents. Ronda had a warrior spirit from childhood and had to confront the world when it seemed to challenge her. Ronda was afflicted with apraxia of speech, a disorder that prevented her from communicating until she was six years old, affecting her articulation and speech rate. But, as she finally managed to use words, it only took two years before she lost her father, who, suffering from depression, took his own life. As life's trials multiplied, Ronda never gave up. She maintained that fighting spirit, and at the age of eleven, she began practicing judo. In six years, she became strong enough to be the youngest judoka to qualify for the 2004 Olympics. But while excelling in the world of judo, she decided to quit everything to pursue a new discipline, MMA. It took her less than a year to win the WWE Women's Championship. Her transition from judo to MMA, though surprising to many, was evident to her. Despite people's skeptical looks and harsh criticism from journalists, Ronda didn't want to be confined by conventions or social expectations. She faced constant doubts about her decision, but she was determined to explore her own limits and push the boundaries of what women were supposed to do in the world of sports. And she succeeded beyond wildest expectations!
