My Speed Is A Gift From God,

I Definitely Think I Put More Pressure On Myself. I Can Be Hard On Myself And Super-critical And Very Rarely Satisfied Or Happy. I Am My Biggest Critic.

I Think That Kids Aren't Even Exploring The Option Of Sports Anymore, And They Don't Even Know What They Could Do.

My Dad's A Pastor And A Seminary Professor, My Mom, She Has Such Great Faith.

My Mom Always Has This Amazing Ability To Always See The Best In A Situation. In That Moment [when Finished 2nd In The 200 Meter Race In The 2008 Olympic Games] I Was Just Completely Devastated. I Mean, I Had Worked So Hard; That Was My Opportunity. And She Was Just Able To Turn It Around For Me. She Helped Me To Be Able To See The Other Side Of Things And That This Is Not The End For Me. She's Just An Amazing Supporter And An Encouraging Person And She Has A Unique Ability To Do That. And So Those Are The Kind Of Things She Said To Me In That Moment And Over The Next Four Years. When Things Get Tough, She's Always Been My Strength.

I Never Let Track Define Me. That's Something That's Really Important To Me.
