Welcome to the team, Bryan Clay!
November 16, 2011The Ask, Listen, Learn team is honored and excited to announce “The World's Greatest Athlete” Bryan Clay, as our newest Superstar!
Bryan Clay holds 2 Olympic decathlon medals- winning a Silver medal in 2004 and Gold in 2008. He's among the very few decathletes in the world to hold 2 medals and now he wants to win a third at the Olympic Games in London next year. He could be the only decathlete in Olympic history to win 3 Olympic medals!
We had a great time with Bryan at Kidsfest in Hawaii in October, and we just had an Ask, Listen, Learn event with him at an assembly with 250 middle schoolers at Horace Mann Middle School in Beverly Hills, California.
Welcome to the team Bryan!

October 27, 2011We're very happy to announce that Bryan Clay, Gold medalist decathlete from the 2008 Olympics, is signing on with the Century Council's Ask, Listen, Learn program!
Ask, Listen, Learn's goal is to encourage middle-school kids to say 'YES' to a healthy lifestyle and 'NO' to underage drinking. And we think Bryan Clay is an ideal person to convey this message, as an athlete who has applied hard work and healthy living to accomplish his goals.
