Chari Hawkins On Qualifying For The U.S. Olympic Heptathlon Team After A LONG Journey Since 2016

“Especially seeing people who were young and doing track now, to kind of be like, ‘Listen. You CAN do it, even if it takes you 20 years,’ because I’ve actually been doing track officially for 20 years.”
Chari Hawkins joins us live in Eugene to share about her path to becoming one of the world’s best heptathletes. She chats with us about how she’s stayed patient while working her way to the top, the bond and sense of respect that she shares with other heptathletes, how she structures her season to optimize her world ranking, advice for younger athletes, and lots more. Hear more from Chari on her powerful story in this episode of the CITIUS MAG Podcast.

Great interview!

[@mattnarvaez9231]

Probably my favorite interview out of a lot of bangers at the qualifiers.

[@salmixH2o]

I already knew her because I watched a few of the TH-cam videos she mentioned, but I didn't know this genuine selfless side of her. She seems like a nice and positive woman! So happy she made the Olympic team eventually

I would love to learn how to be a better coach from you if you do end up going down that road, Chari! Good luck in Paris!
