Bailey Lear joins Journey To Gold Zone to share the journey behind her rise in the 400m, from competing on JV to reaching the world stage. She reflects on how resilience shaped her early career. how her time at USC led to launching a meal prep business, and how training and mentoring athletes at Georgia has helped her grow on and off the track.

Lear opens up about her mindset as a 400m runner, the impact of coaching other on her relationship with herself and her coaches, and the mantra that drives her. She also shares advice to younger athletes and the inspiration behind her new journal, Write on Track.
