I Lost My Leg, But Not My Hustle (feat. James Clark)
A fighter - that would be name for Dr. James Clark, a Washington native who spends his time breaking the barrier and defeating the odds day in and day out. Clark, a graduate and professor at the University of Washington, who was a member of the Men's Rowing Team on Carnegie Lake, took on the challenge of competing with the most historical and well-known crew team located in the Pacific Northwest. A large Power-5 conference school in the PAC-12, the UW is known for excellence both on and off the water. James was and still remains to be a positive influence on the world around him adding to the initiative of overcoming obstacles in order to live an ordinary life filled with enjoyment and the willingness to succeed in tough situations. Clark was the runner-up for the 1991 USRowing National Coach of the Year, adding to how much of an impact he makes on individuals, especially the youth.
At just 17 years of age, Clark was hit in a head on collision that led to his leg needing to be amputated. All through that, and shortly years later he found himself trying out for the men's crew team. Nothing was going to stop Clark from chasing his goals, and one of them was to be a member of the Husky Rowing team. As time went on and cuts needed to be made, Clark was faced with having to adapt his rowing stroke as he wore a prosthesis.
We talk about how to take on adversity and the mindset of living a fulfilled life even with the absence of a leg. Clark hones in on his thoughts on international rowers on US Collegiate teams, as well as his new book that he has been working on diligently, which he aims it to be called, "In The Hunt". Tune into this inspirational episode comprised of wisdom and love for the sport of rowing!
