Olympic Psychologist Discusses Athlete Success Beyond Gold Medals

A clinical psychologist with the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee, Emily Clark, discusses how athletes define success beyond just winning gold medals. She highlights that most Olympians do not win gold, with many attending only one Games. Clark's role involves helping athletes manage mental health and performance, including stress, motivation, and anxiety, skills transferable to life beyond sport. The U.S. is sending approximately 235 athletes to the Winter Olympics.
