Elladj Baldé Going viral on Social media | Figure skating | Motivational Interview

Elladj got tired of the OLD FASHION WAY OF FIGURE SKATING... SO HE ADDED HIS OWN SAUSE

You probably saw @elladjbalde go viral in the last few weeks but don’t let that fool you...

Elladj has been dedicated to his ⛸️ craft since a kid

In this Podcast interview on “Be Great With Nate” I learned the following:

⛸ Elladj didn’t have anyone that looked like him in the sport! It was very unusual to see a person of color figure staking.

⛸ Elladj became a professional figure skater and represented 🇨🇦

⛸ Elladj suffered MAJOR injuries but never gave up. I asked him what kept him motivated... how did he develop a strong mindset to keep coming back better... ( his answer was unique. Listen to the podcast to find out)

⛸How nutrition 🥗 elevated his Game

⛸ How much time, passion, and love goes into creating his videos🏽

⛸How a trip to Africa changed his life

⛸ How his fiancé @michelleldawley inspired him

⛸ His mission going forward and SO MUCH MORE

After doing the podcast with @elladjbalde I decided to sit down and listen to it. One thing that spoke to me is @elladjbalde mission to motivate the youth and inspire those around the world to believe in themselves no matter what 🖤

I really enjoyed my guest @elladjbalde. Thank you again for your time🏽
