VIDEO: Adorable 7-Year-Old Challenges Her Cop Dad To Pull-Up Contest – You Won’t Believe Who Won
One of the most heartwarming, inspiring vids you’ll see all week!
North Carolina State Trooper Brad Marshall has a talented and ambitious daughter.
At only 7 years of age, little Eden is already proving to be quite the gymnast.
In fact, she’s SO strong and agile, she was confident enough to challenge her big strong dad…
To an adorable pull-up contest!
It happened when Brad was watching Eden’s practice at Hart Gymnastics Academy:
Eden’s coach needed help measuring a mat, and then she suggested that father and daughter square off in a test of strength.
Well, the other girls in the Academy certainly liked the idea, and Brad was definitely game!
So, he stepped up to the bar and the match began … and everyone started counting.
The entire match was caught on camera and shared on Twitter by NC Highway Patrol … and it’s the sweetest, most impressive video you’ll see all week:
And the result?
Well, Dear ol’ Dad is a big strong officer of the law, but don’t forget Eden has youth – and her little size – on her side.
In the end, daughter outlasted father, and even though he lost, we know Brad was one proud papa!
And as Eden’s mom said:
“My [husband’s] main goal in life is to have Eden know she can do ANYTHING she puts her mind [to]!!
“He wrote her a book and in the info he writes ‘seeing you succeed in life as a Christian and as the girl that will follow her dreams no matter what they are, will be my greatest accomplishment in life.’”
That’s just incredible.
Not only is this a heartwarming story, but it’s always great to see how faith enriches a family’s life.
There’s no doubt that Eden will grow to be a fine young lady one day, and she’ll have her parents to thank.
She also might recall a memorable competition with her father that went viral … I know I won’t forget it any time soon! 🙂
