This is a special one! I sit down with my mom and dad to talk about my career. Almost 20 years of racing around the world and they were there all the way. Hear my career from their perspective. Y’all know they laughed the first time I came home with a track jersey? Let’s really take it back to my early days from states championships in Pensacola to the college recruitment process. Hear how I chose the University of Tennessee after all the visits and countless letters from other schools. We also discuss when I got the letter in the mail saying I failed a drug test. What a crazy time of confusion for myself and the family. Listen in to some personal stories that nobody but my parents know.
Stand up for the Bahamas, Devynne Charlton with the world record. Our recap of World Championships is in full effect, starting with the rematch of Noah vs Coleman. Why Grant Holloway is on another planet and the recent comments from Fred Kerley. The Olympic story is a big one, the fastest 100M of all-time.
Track and Field is on fire right now and this year we are going to see records broke in multiple events. Christopher Morales just made history in the Indoor 400M event and hes only a sophomore in college. Karsten Warholm is tearing it up and sending a message to all his opponents with the way hes training. Are we primed for an epic rivalry between Femke Bol and Sydney McLaughlin, plus NIL in our sport, and Justin’s Olympic story.
Letsile Tebogo came out and set a World Best in the 300M, and this continues to be an athlete we are not surprised by. Letsile Tebogo is poised for a strong Olympic 200M showing, and could walk away with the gold. Justin just returned from US Indoor Championships where we witnessed Tia Jones tie the World Record, see Grant Holloway continue to dominate, and the big showdown between Christian Coleman and Noah Lyles, which saw Noaw victorious and take his first World Lead in the 60M. All eyes now look to the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow!
The schedule continues and we just wrapped up at the Millrose Track Meet where we saw Christian Coleman make his debut with a 6.51 in the 60M. Shoutout to Devynne Charlton, the first World Record holder for the Bahamas. It's hard not to look ahead to this weekend with US Indoors, and share our predictions for the huge showdown between the World Record holder Christian Coleman and Noah Lyles. Why its important to recognize our legends and the responsibility of our young athletes to push Track forward. Lastly, we pay homage to the great Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and of course story time with Justin Gatlin from the 2012 Olympic Games.

Today I’m joined by my guy Frank Reed! We talk about my college recruitment process because some of these schools went all out on my visits. What was the reason why I decided to go to Tennessee and what did coach Vince Anderson say to me? We then discuss my race mentality early in my career and when I first decided I was going to go pro. What was it like to get served a lifetime ban and how was I able to come back to the sport that I loved? After getting banned, it had felt like I had lost everything but track was that one thing that stopped me from spiraling out of control. I came back to the sport on a mission and never looked back.
