WFPF Hot Shots!- Jimmy Donahue

Описание: My name is Jimmy Donahue, I am 14 years old and I have been training for almost a year in parkour and free running. As I child, I enjoyed climbing and jumping about, which would later lead to my passion for parkour. I first witnessed parkour in the movie, Casino Royale, and later I saw typical free running videos on YouTube. I was eager to learn how to do parkour because it seemed like something I would really enjoy doing. I started learning on my own. Later, I got a true foundation for parkour through taking a class at my local YMCA. After a lot of hard work and training, I am currently a volunteer teacher in that same YMCA class that I learned, and now I love teaching other kids how to do parkour, it reminds me of how I started. I think free running is perfect for me because of the opportunity for creativity and individuality it presents. I like how I can choose my own path and my own movement. Parkour and free running has helped me overcome obstacles literally, as well as mentally. I will always have a place for parkour in me and can't imagine myself not doing wanting to do it. Parkour is a part of me now and the mark it has made on me will never be taken away.
