Concentration is why some athletes are better than others. You develop that concentration in training and concentrate in a meet.

I never struggled with injury problems because of my preparation - in particular my stretching.

Both parents supported my becoming a world class athlete.

I overcame size with mechanics.

I went to Moorehouse College. There was no track and field there.

I used biomechanics to save time when I was competing.

There are so many people afraid of a task. They get so overwhelmed by the obstacles in front of them that they shy away from reaching beyond a position of safety.
