Bryan Clay Biography

At his mother's bidding, Bryan Clay - an unruly child from a broken home - focused his energies on track-and-field and dreamed of an Olympic medal. Not only did he capture the silver in 2004 and the gold in 2008 - as well as a World Champion title in 2005 - in the decathlon, but he obtained the title of "World's Greatest Athlete," joining an elite group that includes Jim Thorpe, Dan O'Brien, and Bruce Jenner.

Just as his mother had urged him to hone his talents into track-and-field, Clay encourages other children to reach their full potential through The Bryan Clay Foundation. Founded in 2005, it helps youth make healthy choices, pursue active lifestyles, and establish habits that lead to well-being.

His memoir, Redemption, tells the story of his unlikely path from a fist-fighting, drug-using, pre-suicidal kid in Hawaii to world champion in the toughest Olympic sport, a victory he accords to his rediscovered faith and his mother's relentless prayers.
