Climbing, a school of life for Geilà
“Apart from the sport itself, climbing has allowed me to meet many people, most of my best friends come from here. I have also been able to practice languages and it has taught me how to lose, to learn from my mistakes and improve them. Climbing has brought me a lot closer to my entire family because they have always been supporting me, especially my mother, who is the person with whom I have spent the most time, with whom I have had some differences that we have overcome to achieve everything we have achieved. proposed. Climbing has taught me to win and has given me the pleasure of feeling that everything I have worked for has been worth it”.
Geila is only 15 years old, but she has already accumulated successes that can make you dizzy, and not only in a figurative sense, since the protagonist herself admits that reviewing her performances makes her feel somewhat nervous. “Every time I watch a video of a competition I’ve done – even if I know the result – I still get nervous. When I look back and see all my results I feel very proud, but at the same time the world falls on me because I find it very difficult to repeat all that again. It is then that I remember that this is the past, that now there are new goals to achieve and what I have achieved no one can take away from me.”Geila points out. As with every dam on a wall, there is no point in looking at the path already taken if there is still one to go.
Between studies and climbing, Geila doesn’t have much free time, but when she can she tries “enjoy nature, spend time with family. I love music, dancing and reading”, and apart from Los Angeles that he has in mind (2028), he also has a professional future with his own company. For that, there are many vertical kilometers to climb, great joys to celebrate and disappointments from which to learn and get up. She is Geila Macià, a 15-year-old teenager who has things clearer than most young people her age and who dreams of overcoming obstacles and walls to compete in the Olympic Games.
