In de 1970's zette Diana Nyad lange-afstandsrecords neer die nog steeds niet verbroken zijn. 30 jaar later, op haar zestigste, probeerde ze haar langste zwemtocht ooit, van Cuba naar Florida. In deze grappige, krachtige talk op TEDMED praat ze over hoe je je mentaal moet voorbereiden om een extreme droom te vervullen, en ze vraagt: wat wil JIJ doen met je wilde, kostbare leven?

A record-setting long-distance swimmer, Diana Nyad writes and thinks deeply about motivation. Full bio »
