Sophie is an amazing example of profound courage. I smile and I cry. Bravo, bravo Sophie. Your message is so very important and you are an inspiration for all of us. Thank you for speaking out and for doing it with such determination. We love you for it!
As a stutterer like you i know how hard is it to speak in public. you are nervous frightend to have blocks or cant get out the next word or sentences. So you have my respect for made this video.
My highest grade of respect for this this lady for having the courage of making this film. As I stutter myself, I know it takes a hella lot of courge to do this, and you did, so kudos to you Sophie, kudos to you.
Sophie, I am so glad that people like you with stuttering or other kinds of problems are appearing more and more on RU-vid. In times past, people with such problems often felt like they were the only one and hardly knew what to do about it. I really believe that this can lead to much better understanding on the part of the public and allow people to be their imperfect selves without having to undergo criticism or ridicule. We are all humans in this world and ought to be good to each other.
I have been following you on twitter for a long time. You have made me laugh and you have made me cry. You are a true hero in my eyes. I hope to see you at the Wegmans LPGA Championship in Rochester.
I am well-aware of athletes and celebrities that have speech problems. I keep trying and it gets better little by little. Keep winning and the more people know about these problems, the faster the cure will eventually be found.
Good on ya, Sophie, You're a Great role model, with class (and obviously gorgeous) and intelligence. To the point of your generous sharing: you've inspired and empowered people with your message.
awesome video, such courage! you should make more videos because I'm sure this one has inspired so many people, think of all the others you could inspire with more videos !
I love Sophie! She is the funniest girl on the LPGA tour! (read her tweets!) Sad to learn she is leaving the LPGA to return to Europe and the LET. Good Luck back at home SG, you're all class, courageous, a hell of a golfer, Hilarious and beautiful as well.
Good courage SOPHIE that you publish this video really beautiful voice as your self-confidence. You'll be a role model for many people. I stutter BUT I really were not me the courage to do what did you do
Sophie - you are incredible and I will be sharing your story every time I see someone needing encouragement to deal with the curves life can sometimes throw. I'm linking your latest video here as this chapter of your story needs to be heard as well. Continued success on and off the course! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Op4dlrxP5Cg.html
I wish I had half the guts this woman has. I've never stuttered, but if you put me on the tee with a driver with just a dozen people breathing down my neck waiting to see what would happen, I can tell you exactly what would happen: the ball would go flying way out of bounds every time. That's my "stuttering." She has two groups of people to address: Those who couldn't care less about her stuttering, and those who would make fun of her. She has nothing to worry about with the first group. She'll never change the attitude of the second group. So what's the component of this where she actually cares what the second group thinks? I don't know the answer to that. I would probably need to investigate my second paragraph a little more to try to seek that answer. I do know that saying, "Oh, don't pay any attention to them," is much easier said than done in a lot of cases. And does she think the first group really _does_ care? I wonder. And remember, she does better without either group present. (Like me on a golf course.) How much do these things affect her, subconsciously? Here's a Swede who speaks better English, and is more articulate and eloquent and sensitive with her words than a whole lot (too many) of native English speaking people I know. I wish more of them stuttered - and had her command of the language in the process. I'd take that deal. If she could take a pill that would immediately erase her stuttering, well of course she would do that, regardless of what people think. And the good news is this: She WILL conquer this, pill or no pill. It won't make a dime's worth of difference in her character, of course - she's already got that base well covered.
