Parkour Perception And Community : Mark D'agosta : Tedxneomed

How do you interact with your environment?

We often live the lives in a series of right angles without exploring the space in between. Mark, a second-year medical student and Parkour expert, believes that there is great value in exploring that space in between. In his talk, Mark will share how Parkour can change your perceptions and outlook on life. Mark D’Agosta believes that small shifts in perception can alter the way we see, and interact, with the world around. He started training Parkour over a decade ago and founded the free community Denver Parkour and Freerunning in 2009—eventually using his experience to create and implement a successful training program in his career as a Parkour coach. The constant pursuit of wellness, capability, and community that define Parkour culture drove him to medicine, fostering both his desire and ability to pursue this goal. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
