For the Love of Freediving: A Lesson on Limits | Dena Parsa | TEDxLugano

Dive into deep waters with Dena Parsa, a freediver, who elaborates on the mental technique she applies to (hy-)perform in her sport. This mental technique of visualization does not require much and can help anyone improve their skills and sharpen their mental shape, to make them perform even better. Dena Parsa was born and raised in Iran until the age of 13, after which she moved to Denmark. Water has always been an important part of Dena’s life, with some people even referring to her as a modern-day mermaid due to her career as a successful freediver. In 2014, she achieved a new Danish National Depth Record in free immersion. Following her recent success, Dena was awarded a wild card for the World Cup in 2015. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
