Ms. Jacqueline Valente:
When I was younger I control a lot my diet during my career in gymnastics. Now i don’t follow any diet, but I look after things I am eating… a burger, pizza, ice cream feels really nice to have but surely not as often as vegetables, chicken, rice, cereals,…
Ms. Namita Nayyar:

Thank you for your complements 🙂 I don’t take anything special for skin or for my hair. I usually wash everyday my hair with shampoo and conditioner, specially after entering to a pool full of chlorine. And I use also lotion body everyday, but the brand isn’t always the same.

Follow your instincts, take the chances that life gives you and enjoy everyday as much as possible doing what you like to do and sharing the love and happiness of life with all others around you.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Tell us how did you feel before and after your participation in Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series 2014 at Hell’s Gate on Possum Kingdom Lake?
Ms. Jacqueline Valente:
Before I arrive in Texas for the first competition I was still feeling like a ‘’dream’’, it took couple of hours to really feel that I was actually living the dream! The fly, the hotel, the people, the platform!!! When I step for the first time on it, I confess I had tears on my eyes and the feeling of ‘’Mission accomplished’’. There wasn’t more thoughts, no more dreams, it was real… and it felt just incredible (even better then my dreams). I enjoy every second, every moment, clap, picture taken, all… an experience, feeling that is hard to explain by words… when you really believe you can do things, nobody can stop you. After my participation I felt blessed, honour, special… Unique 🙂 and I remember all the hard work I had before arrived there… and I tell to my self ‘’I would do everything once again, no doubts!’’.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have selected a sport which requires winning over your fear, concentration and possess an exceptionally toned body to finally succeed, how do you achieve that?
Ms. Jacqueline Valente:
I always liked the adrenaline, the fear, to push my limits and go to the edge of things. I like to put targets on my trainings and try things that I am afraid of just to break this barrier inside of me and have the sensation… ‘’If I tell my self I can do it, I will do it”. Is a very dangerous sport and requires a lot of concentration, one distraction and it can lead to a serious injury… Stay focus, concentrate and inside of my own ‘’bubble’’ how I like to say when I am on trainings/competitions.

Ms. Namita Nayyar:
With exceptional hard work you are credited with all your achievements. Do you believe that does the hand of Providence (Supreme Being) played a role in your success?
Ms. Jacqueline Valente:
Our ‘’Providence’’ never leave us, the hand is always next to us, protecting, guiding, helping… But I believe more that the people here in earth who cross my life, who encourage me to keep following my dreams are the ones who help me in achieve and be where I am now. Thank you all who some how help me to be where I am, my family, friends, fans… There aren’t words enough that can express how important all of you are for me.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Who has been your greatest influencer and motivator in your success in the field of your career in competitive Cliff Diving?

My family that no matter the distance are constantly helping me and motivating to keep me doing what I love to do, my friends all over the world that always have the best words in difficult moments, my fans (I am not used to that, never though I would have fans) who help me, show me their love and recognize my hard work from all over the globe.
