Even though Kelly Clark is a four-time Olympian and has won every major snowboarding event, including the U.S. Open and Winter Games, Clark still knew she hadn’t achieved the real goal.
“I thought that being successful and achieving my goals would go hand-in-hand with being happy,” Clark says. “But by the time I was 18 years old, I had achieved everything that was in my heart to do, and at the same time I wasn’t finding fulfillment.”
Just before Clark decided to give up on her dream job, she was staying at a hotel and approached a woman there whom she overheard say, “God still loves you.” She couldn’t ignore the tugging on her heart and, through the events that followed, eventually gave her life to Christ.
“There’s no place where you can get freedom apart from Him,” Clark says. “I’ve brought that freedom into my snowboarding. It really does set me apart from a lot of the athletes. I get to do what I love with the one that I love. There’s no better way to do it than with that kind of freedom.”
