When did you chose running over other sports?

The danger of short cuts

Why did you choose South Carolina when you could have gone to

Don't most athletes follow intense regimen?

Why losing ceased to phase you?

The day you signed with Nike

Leaving college to go pro

Whats it like having a contract with nike?

Any thought of a plan B after racing career?

The difference between hard vs. challenging

What did it feel like winning a gold medal?

What was it like racing against / beating Usain Bolt?

Tell us what it takes to beat the world record in 100 meter?

When you made the decision to leave running professionally

Talking out the pressures of the grind / hustle is cathartic

Plans are overrated

The intense challenge of Income then vs. income now

Don't let your identity get enmeshed in your career

What advice would you give to your 18 year old self?
