The 26-year-old finished last season with Clevelands Triple-A affiliate in Columbus after signing with the Indians in August. In October, espnWs weekly essay series will focus on heroes.Heroes and Olympians are not necessarily the same things. Olympians are appointed to us every four years, products of performance and point tallies and pundits presenting score cards. Heroes, on the other hand, hatch from hardships that are often unannounced and unexpected. If done correctly, every day can be hero training. Olympians Abbey DAgostino and Nikki Hamblin have shown us how.Halfway through the 5,000 meter qualifying race in Rio, the pack of Olympic runners jostled their position. U.S. athlete DAgostino abruptly adjusted her stride and, like dominoes in a chain, the runner behind her, New Zealands Nikki Hamblin, stumbled and fell. Hamblin lay sprawled on the track for seconds, a definitive delay amidst a race won by thousandths of a moment.?Immediately, DAgostino, who had also fallen, was kneeling beside her, whispering, Get up. We have to finish this.Tears streaming, Hamblin staggered forward, determined to finish. For a few meters the women hobbled side by side, until DAgostino crumpled to the ground once more, clearly suffering a serious injury.This time, Hamblin turned back and offered her hand to DAgostino. Grimacing with pain, DAgostino finished the race, half a minute after Hamblin. Though their Olympic expectations dissipated, DAgostino and Hamblin became heroes, not for running faster than their competitors, but for being more courageously human.Heroes, these runners teach us, must fall. Heroes must lose their balance, give up their grip, jump, only to slip upon landing.The necessity of falling is two-fold. One must have been willing to face the fear (of falling, or even the burden of triumph), a force strong enough to keep many of us from even starting. No journey can happen without begiinning.ddddddddddddTherefore the very premise of falling -- of starting -- is fundamental.There is also something more that falling demands: to fall we must go to the edge of what we want, what we think, what weve planned for and take one step beyond.We must teeter.We had gone through scenarios of the worst things that could happen, and falling over was not the worst, Hamblin said after her race. Like, we had never even really talked about it.DAgostino fell not once, but twice, in her 17 minutes of running. While runners finished the race, neither made it to the final heat of the event. Falling is what made them potential heroes: both stepped beyond what she thought could, would, or should happen. Both risked failing by trying.How they got up after their fall is what made these runners heroes. These women understood the second essential of heroism: to help and be helped. Heroes, to paraphrase mythologist Joseph Campbell, feel the pull of 1,000 invisible hands hoisting them on their journey.For Hamblin and DAgostino on that hot August day in Rio, the hands were far from invisible -- they came from one another. DAgostino reached out to Hamblin, urging her to finish. Hamblin, in turn, comforted DAgostino, standing next to her as she fell for a second time. Their heroism wasnt their finishing time or place at the Olympics -- it was their courage to risk failing, to fall, to receive the hands that pulled them back up, and then to offer their hand to another. The training for this kind of heroism requires neither judge nor official committees -- merely the fearlessness of stumbling, and the strength to reach out to another.Training starts now. ' ' '
