Claressa Shields Sport: Boxing Biography
Name: Claressa Shields Sport: Boxing Biography: Seventeen-year-old Claressa Shields enjoyed an eventful summer prior to starting her senior year in high school. The Flint Northwestern High School senior made history simply advancing to the London Games, the first-ever in the sport of women’s boxing. The event was a culmination of years of work for she and her lifetime trainer, Jason Crutchfield, but just earning a berth at the Olympic Games wasn’t enough for this teenager. She wanted nothing but gold and with three strong wins in London, she accomplished her goal. In 2012, Claressa was titled as 2012 Olympic Gold Medalist, 2012 Women’s Continental Champion, and 2012 U.S. Team Trials Champion and Outstanding Boxer Shields took up boxing as an 11-year-old after hearing her father talk about Laila Ali. She initially thought he wanted her to box but quickly learned after asking for his permission that he wasn’t exactly keen on the idea. He eventually came around after a family vote with Shields’ stepmother, and she’s been a force to reckon with ever since. A proud Flint native, Shields wanted badly to bring something positive to her hometown, which hasn’t had much to celebrate recently. She understands the importance of being a role model to the young people in her community and has been overwhelmed by the unbelievable outpouring of support she has received since returning from London with her gold medal. She was welcomed at the airport by over 500 well-wishers and can’t go anywhere in her hometown without being stopped for photos and autographs and she refuses to disappoint anyone.

That was to be a journalist. I’m still a journalist, but over the past couple of years I’ve added another layer to my work. Now, beyond telling stories, I work with the Aspen Institute to convene leaders, facilitate dialogue, and help my small but rich corner of the world, sports, find the opportunity to tell a new story. Its best story. That is to say, a vision in which there’s room for everyone to participate, and we don’t stop playing at adolescence. Sport for All, Play for Life. I’m inspired by my mother, who grew up poor in post-depression Miami. She picked up one of the few sports offered to girls of that era. She’s now 74 and plays tennis five days a week with women half her age; the game shaves 20 years off her self-concept, infusing her with vitality.
