From the pressure of representing your country to protecting your confidence in an era of social media comparison, this conversation reminds us that athletes are more than their times on the clock. Topics discussed: • Jamaican track culture and expectations • Mental health in elite sport • Identity beyond athletics • Handling pressure and comparison • Dreams, legacy, and life after track Because at the end of the day, athletes are more than their lane assignments. 🎙 Hosted by Jeanae Robinson 📌 The Sports Girlie Podcast — where we elevate conversations in sport.
