The pressure is hard. You get - the world is only watching every four years, and I think lots of people feel like they have to win in that time frame.
Allyson FelixMy mom is great and I make sure that we pray together before every race. She helps me put everything in perspective and remind me of the real reason I run.

Allyson FelixWhen I was younger, Jackie Joyner-Kersee was a mentor to me and gave me great advice. The best was to 'work 100 percent, but enjoy every moment along the way.' Sometimes you get so in the zone, you forget to enjoy your passions. I love runningโbut I also love the movies, relaxing on the beach, shopping and spending time with my friends. Enjoying my life helps me enjoy my running.
