I don't really see the hurdles. I sense them like a memory.

Both parents supported my becoming a world class athlete.

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.

My father was also a principal of a school and mother was a curriculum advisor. Both were educators.

I overcame size with mechanics.

I was always more of an academic than a jock.

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