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.
