At the World Championships in Budapest in June, USA’s Anita Alvarez sank to the bottom of the pool. Looking across the deck, then noticing she was under way too long, her coach, Andrea Fuentes immediately dove in after her fully clothed, pulling her to safety. Anita was unconscious and didn’t have the capacity to kick, paddle, or help herself in any way. If Andrea had not have noticed, she would have drown. But she knew Anita. She looked for her, quickly noticed she was under too long, (nore than normal) then dove in without thinking twice. This has resonated with me…. When you are under too long, who are the people that will look for you, notice you aren't surfacing, and dive in to pull you to the surface when you lose your strength to swim in life? Who are the people that would do that for you? And can someone count on you to be that person that would go looking and notice when they are under too long, diving in to support them when they are all out of fight and fuel to swim in these turbulent waters we call life. -Written by Jakkia Ambler Hollingsworth

The third and final Olympic equestrian event is Jumping. As with Dressage, Jumping, as a stand-alone competition is much more difficult than the jumping portion of the Eventing competition. These horses are highly trained to jump ever-increasing heights without touching or “dropping” a rail. In some competitions, the jumps can go as high as 6 feet or more. #Jumping #Equestrian #ParisOlympics #CircleBBarn https://lnkd.in/g-gM-utA

There are many ways we can be present for each other. We can "check in" with each other, cheer up someone with a kind gesture, or if we see someone struggling under water in life, we can dive in for them like this coach did. Get in tune with your people, know how to help them, and stay plugged in. You might have to jump in with all of your clothes on and pull them to safety. It might be when you are at your weakest point too, BUT, you might have a little more gas than they do. This is why Vets who suffer together in extreme and often hostile circumstances make great leaders, as well as great followers - sometimes the boss needs a buddy check as well. Put this into immediate practice in your workplace and let's be there for each other.
