La strada non è dove corri. È come scegli di continuare | Claudia Pinna | TEDxViaCavour
La storia della sua vita da atleta che, pur non essendo professionista, ha curato nel miglior modo possibile tra gli impegni prima di studio e poi di lavoro a tempo pieno. Questo le ha permesso di scegliere di correre e gareggiare non per lavoro ma per passione, di accettare gli alti e bassi delle prestazioni ottenute in base ai periodi e di rialzarsi ogni volta dopo una frenata o un infortunio, spinta sempre dalla voglia di ripartire e rimettersi in gioco senza che fossero gli altri a decidere per lei. Oggi è ancora lì, in parte a scoprire i suoi nuovi limiti e ancor di più a cercare di trasmettere l’essenza dello sport ai più giovani. Claudia Pinna (nata il 4 dicembre 1977 a San Gavino Monreale) è una mezzofondista italiana, specializzata nelle corse su pista e su strada.
Nel corso della sua carriera ha conquistato sei titoli nazionali, tra cui tre titoli assoluti: nei 5000 metri (2007), nella mezza maratona (2013) e nei 10.000 metri (2015). A questi si aggiungono un titolo universitario nei 3000 metri (2003), un titolo master nella mezza maratona (2014) e un titolo giovanile nella corsa campestre categoria allieve (1994).
A livello internazionale ha contribuito al successo della nazionale italiana nella Coppa Europa dei 10.000 metri, conquistando due medaglie a squadre: un argento a Bilbao (Spagna) nel 2012 e un bronzo a Cagliari nel 2015.

But this is not a tale of shame. It’s a mirror many of us need to look into.Why do we sabotage our success by doing everything but the one thing we truly need to? Is it laziness—or fear? Is procrastination the problem—or a symptom?Michelle breaks it all down.

But more importantly, she offers clear, actionable ways to break the cycle—without guilt, without shame, and without needing superpowers.
