We had the honor and privilege to host local legend and Olympic Gold & Silver Medalist Dawn Harper-Nelson. Dawn is an American track and field athlete who specializes in the 100-meter hurdles. She was the gold medalist in the event at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and the silver medalist in the 2012 London Olympic Games and the 2017 World Championships.
Originally from East St. Louis, Dawn continues to build a successful life as a mother, wife, speaker, and now NBC Olympic analyst. We’re beyond excited to watch Dawn during the Olympics in Paris. In this episode, Luke talks with Dawn about the life of an Olympic athlete, transition into motherhood, mindset, and more.
