Little Girl Completes 24-Hour U.S. Navy SEAL Obstacle Course

This nine-year-old girl from Miami, Florida just became the youngest person to ever complete the course designed by U.S. Navy SEALs.

Milla Bizzotto took on challenges such as running 36 miles and swimming five miles.

It was originally built to train members of the U.S. Navy, but has now been opened up to the public as a 24-hour challenge.

She's an incredibly self-aware person. Her reason behind wanting to take on the course? To inspire 'the iPad generation'. Woah.

Speaking to CBS Local Miami, she said: "I don't want people to quit because they don't believe in themselves because someone else says that they can believe in themselves."

She was bullied in school, so decided to empower herself by training for nine months, five days a week for three hours a day with her dad and coach, Christian Bizzotto.

What a legend.
