All Roads Lead to the 800 meters
What does it really mean to choose your lane, not just in sport but in life? When you're surrounded by expectations from coaches, fans, the media, and even your own ambition, how do you create space for your own voice to break through?
On athlete Sage Hurta-Klecker is doubling down on the 800 meters, not because it’s the obvious path but because it’s her path.
Sage’s story, reminds us that strength isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it looks like softness—choosing joy over pressure. Soft wins happen when you trust yourself enough to follow the road that feels right for you, not the one others imagine.
Check out the latest episode of Unexpected Curves to hear how Sage has learned to trust her gut and why the 800 is exactly where she’s meant to be.
