Champion Sports Moms Episode 004: Kathy Johnson Clarke on When to Quit and When to Keep Going

Kathy Johnson Clarke, Olympic medalist (gymnastics) and sports commentator, joins Champions Sports Moms with Wendy Hilliard to discuss her athletic journey and now parenting a champion pole vaulter. Kathy talks about running track before starting gymnastics at the age of 12, her almost-journey to being a pole vaulter a decade after retiring from gymnastics, and all about her son’s journey in pole vaulter. She discusses when and how she coaches her son, plus her thoughts on moving on from competitive sports. *Follow Kathy Johnson Clarke on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kjcgym/ *Follow the Wendy Hilliard Gymnastics Foundation on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/wendyhilliardfou... *For more on the WHGF, visit www.wendyhilliard.org About the CHAMPION SPORTS MOMS PODCAST: Being a champion athlete is hard.
