Former track and field world champion Marion Jones joins us to discuss strength, resilience, and using past experiences to serve as an example of no matter how far you fall down you can always get back up. Marion Jones is widely considered to be one of the greatest athletes of all time. She became the first woman to win five medals in a single Olympics in the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney, Australia. After a scandal that covered over 20 professional athletes Marion was the only athlete to serve a prison sentence. She used her experience to serve as an example of no matter how far you fall down you can always get back up. In 2010, just four months after the birth of her third child, Marion made an impressive comeback to competitive sports earning a spot on the WNBA's Tulsa Shock. That same year she published her book “On the Right Track”and launched her campaign to help youth make better decisions. Marion has appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, Vogue, and Sports Illustrated. Her accomplishments landed her interviews on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Late Night with David Letterman, The Rosie O' Donnell Show, and Good Morning America to name a few. She secured endorsement deals from Nike, Gatorade, “Got Milk” and others. The fastest woman on the planet is now a speaker, entrepreneur, media personality, and an expert trainer and coach on the subject of winning. She is a loving mother and a tireless advocate for the development of greatness in people in pursuit of their goals. Moderated by Krista Callaghan.
