I always wanted to be a sprinter.

One of the main techniques I used was focusing on the goal and visualising myself competing in the race before the race started.

Don't shoot for something unattainable - completely outside of your nature or opportunity.

All my life I believed I became an athlete through my own determination, but it's impossible to think that being descended from slaves hasn't left an imprint through the generations.

Along with trustworthiness, consistency is the thing to look for when you surround yourself with people who can help you on your quest.

It is important that you strive for humility, but not humiliation, for a cool, level-headed confidence, not a stiff, delusional arrogance.
