Chris Benard joins The Athletic Experience for Episode 046. The 2016 Olympian is full of passion when he trains and is working everyday to grow as an athlete and individual. Benard shares what is was like to go from Junior College, to barely becoming an NCAA All-American to eventually become a UNITED STATES OLYMPIAN.

The Triple Jump in the United States might be one of the most competitive events with athletes like 2x Olympic Gold Medalist, Christian Taylor, and 2012 Indoor World Champion, Will Claye, still in their prime - but Benard is up for the challenge.

The Clap - Free Jumps - Olympic Training Center -- We cover a lot in this episode! Of course you'll hear what it's like at the Olympic Trials, Olympic Games and World Championships Finals throughout six jumps along side the world's best. (In short - it's intense!)
