Perfection is often considered an ideal to strive for. However, as former elite
gymnast Scarlett Gutierrez attests, working for perfection can be actively harmful.
She shares her journey of how striving for perfection in gymnastics eventually led
to burnout and some harsh realizations, and how she has grown beyond that to
seek constant improvement and a healthier self-image. Scarlett Gutierrez is a distinguished
Presidential Scholar at the University of
Tulsa, majoring in Political Science with a
Pre-Law focus. She plans to attend law
school and make a lasting impact through
legislation and legal advocacy in her
community and beyond. Her journey
began in the high-stakes world of elite gymnastics, where, as an Olympic hopeful, she confronted the
true cost of perfection. These experiences now fuel her passion
for inspiring others to embrace setbacks, prioritize mental
health, and advocate for child protection. Through her work, she
empowers others to live authentically, resiliently, and free from
impossible standards. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
