I looked up to Don Quarrie and Michael Johnson when I was younger. They were the best in the 200m which was my main event growing up.
Usain BoltWhen I was younger I always wanted to impress, to be good for my country, to make them feel good, and sometimes that meant I didn't focus on myself enough. I learned I had to put myself first. And it's fine because I want for me the same thing that they want for me, which is to win.
