When a pro athlete makes their living jumping out of an airplane,
it’s easy to think they’re super human with an immunity to fear and
the mental minefields of emotion. That’s not the case for
professional skydiver and Red Bull Air Force member Amy Chmelecki.
Throughout her life, self doubt and emotional turmoil was as
consistent as Amy’s need to pursue skydiving; from low self esteem

her approach and reactions to life. Amy used flexibility to find
success. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
