At 11 years old, Sky Brown is the youngest professional skateboarder in the world.
All we think when we hear the name Sky Brown is talent, technique, happiness, PASSION. Sky is one of the best skateborders and surfers we have ever seen, she pushes boundaries and she is always smiling, having fun, PLAYing.
Sky is a great example of determination, discipline, methodology. Her technique is perfect, she is wild, creative.
This last summer she had her worst fall yet. She was taken to hospital in a helicopter and was unresponsive on arrival.
"Sky landed head-first off a ramp on her hand," said her father Stewart.
"When she first came to hospital, everyone was fearful for her life."
“This was my worst fall yet. My helmet and arm saved my life. This will not stop me. I am going for gold in Tokyo 2021. Stay strong. Stay positive. “
Many of us had our worst fall yet during this past year metaphorically. Some of us had lost our jobs, had lost loved ones, had to face many challenges we weren’t prepared for…
In sports, we also face tough challenges, most of the times there are more obvious, often followed by injuries or falls. It is fascinating and amazing how Sky, at 11 years old is teaching us how to face challenges, how to recover from a great fall, how to get energy when you are at your deepest.
This is why PLAY exists, to give the opportunity to all the children to grow through sports, to learn through sports.
We are sure Sky will achieve all her goals, but most importantly, we are sure she will grow to be a great human being, smart, healthy, a role model.
PLAY for life.
