#244: Clyde Hart-Baylor University (retired)

The Gill Athletics Track and Field Connections Podcast

Destiny's Direction: A Life Shaped by Sport and Spirituality

In this riveting episode, Clyde Hart shares his journey, navigating through the crossroads of ambition, destiny, and family expectations. From contemplating a career in coaching to navigating the dichotomies presented by the business world and the influence of his mother's beliefs about career choices. We get an insight into the unique experiences he had with coaches throughout his life, especially in track and field. He paints a vivid picture of his high school years, running for championships (you'll be amazed at his 100y PR!) without proper coaching and relying on books and magazines for guidance. As he shares the story of being unexpectedly scouted for a scholarship to LSU and then feeling the pull to attend Baylor University, we witness the interplay of chance, choice, and providence in shaping his path. Plus, a moving account of his father’s call to ministry amidst challenges, making us ponder about the ways destiny calls us. This episode reminds us that sometimes, the path chooses us, and it’s up to us to heed its call.
