By the age of 22, Charles Clark was a 3 time National Champion, 10 times All American, and placed as the 6th fastest man in the world at IAAF World Championships in Berlin, Germany. He was living his dream and was one year away from inking his first shoe deal as a track and field superstar. On the outside, he was thriving, but his inner champion was barely pounding the surface. He could not find the joy, the gratefulness, within the work he was doing because he felt like he was not good enough. Charles shares his journey from being ungrateful to blessed for every opportunity that has come his way; good or bad.
