There I was, 11 years old, standing at the top of the high dive at the Olympic pool after having a swim meet.

This was my chance to impress.

This was my chance to really make known how amazing I am as a swimmer.

Keep in mind, I'm already in a speedo.

So people already, they already know, right? I was really nervous. I'll be in mind, I'm already in a speedo. So people already,

they already know, right? I was really nervous. I'll be real. So I'm standing at top of this dive in my mind. I can tell everyone's kind of watching because people have

taken turns, jumping, but here I am. My moment, right? And so I'm walking off the end of that

diving board, looking down the pool, not nervous to jump in it, but with what I'm going to do. So on my head, I'm giving myself two

options. Option one, just jump to the end of thing as high as you possibly can, break the record for

the highest jump ever, and just do like a straight up pencil dive into the water with almost no splash.

Or, alternatively, get a little bit more of a running start so I'm able to just fly to the

other side of the pool and give

the most majestic dive you could ever imagine. Here's what end up happening. Something right

between those two things. You guessed it. A belly flop. And I'm not just talking like a little

belly flop like oh that was cute. Like good job. You did a belly flop, right? No, I'm talking about

something that like shattered the earth. Like I heard that windows down the street from the pool were actually shattering with how hard

I hit the water. I was, like, out of breath, climbing to the side of the pool, just like,

oh, man, like, just hurting. And I'll say this, it didn't really build the reputation I was looking

for. I got some laughs, right? But not the reputation I was going for with this.

I'm going to share about this story in just a moment here. But real quick, my name's Alex San Felipeo,

if I'm not had the opportunity to meet you. I'm the founder of Podmatch, and I'm super honored to be here
