Marion Jones: Overcoming Your Biggest Mistakes
Manage episode 481379696 series 2890153
This week Andrew talks with Marion Jones. In 2000, Marion became the first woman to win five track and field medals at a single Olympics — when she won 3 gold medals & 2 bronze medals at the summer games in Sydney, Australia. Then, in 2007 Marion’s world came crashing down. She confessed that she had lied to federal investigators when, a few years prior, she denied using Performance-Enhancing Drugs. Marion was sentenced to six months in prison and the International Olympic Committee vacated all of her Olympic medals & performances. In this conversation, Marion talks candidly about her life & career — and many of the difficult lessons she’s learned along the way. This episode is a powerful reminder about the ripple effects of decisions, the journey of redemption, & that we are all capable of overcoming our biggest mistakes.
