Description

Sam Kendricks is a pole vaulting legend, a two-time World Champion, and an Olympic bronze and silver medalist. He holds the American record of 6.06 meters, placing him 5th on the all-time list.


In this episode, Sam shares his journey from a scrawny, non-athletic kid to a World Champion, revealing how his father shaped his mentality and the joy of making it back to claim Olympic silver in 2024.


Tune in to hear Sam's incredibly inspiring story, delivered with humor and charm. Seriously, I don't think I've ever laughed this hard during an interview!
