Students in Dover heard from motivational speaker Charles Clark on Nov. 15. Clark is a former world-class sprinter who was a three-time NCAA champion while at Florida State, including the 200 meters in 2009. The 10-time NCAA All-American also qualified for the 2009 IAAF World Championships by taking second at the USA Track and Field Outdoor Championships. A massive tear in his quad muscle derailed his track career and ultimately led to him becoming a motivational speaker, which has also taken him all over the world. Clark is the creator of Thrive Planner, in which he shows students, athletes, entrepreneurs and companies how to “win in life” by teaching people “how to use adversity to build greater strength, success and fulfillment.” Clark is pictured above left with Dover softball coach Matt Peck.
