From Olympic competition to inspiring the next generation, Hazel Clark has spent her life proving the power of perseverance both on and off the track. Raised in South Orange, Hazel became a three-time Olympian and six-time USA Champion while overcoming performance anxiety that followed her from her teenage years into adulthood. Now, through her new children’s book, Hazel Takes The First Step, along with her advocacy work and youth sports camps across New Jersey and New York, she’s helping young athletes build confidence, resilience, and a love for sports. Hazel joins us now to discuss her journey, mental health awareness, and the importance of empowering the next generation.
