Nelly Korda shares powerful message about the legacy she wants to leave
Nelly Korda recently shared a powerful message about the legacy she wishes to leave. The golfer joined Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon to talk about her journey as a golf-obsessed kid from a family full of professional athletes and how she finally won the Olympic gold medal at 23.
A clip of the interview was shared by Goldman Sachs' Instagram handle on June 12. In the video, Korda shared her vision of leaving behind a legacy, and her words were:
“People that are passionate give everything 100%. They continuously want to push themselves to be better…I think that's where you learn the most about yourself. Everything is against you, you lean on the people around you and that's actually where you appreciate the highs the most. That's what makes the great times so much better.”
She continued, “If you're passionate about something, the chances of you succeeding are pretty high because you are gonna give it your all. That's what I want my legacy to be, no matter what was thrown at her, no matter what injuries, no matter the ups and downs, I gave it 100%.”
Nelly Korda also talked about inspiring the next generation at the ShopRite LPGA Classic press conference. She explained how the support from the boys and girls meant the world to her at any golf event.
