All he tells me is to listen to what coach Hart says and if I have any nagging injury then I shouldn't try and run it off. |
Coach Hart told me I could be Olympic champion. |
I was fortunate to have a great bunch of guys running with me. Each leg put each other in a great position. Getting the stick around was our main goal. |
I wasn't surprised by my success at the Olympics, |
I'm a whole different runner from a couple of years ago, ... My race has been fundamentally perfect the last couple of years. In the big races I stay confident. I just listened to Coach Hart throughout my career, and there's no telling where I can go from here. |
It shows we compete, year in, year out. |
Michael leaves all the coaching to coach Hart, |
They set me up with a great time. They gave me enough time to work with it. I just ran my usual race that I usually do. |
We know that we are the main athletes right now. We know that we are young and going to be on top for a while. We just go in, basically like we do every meet . . . we just focus on our own thing. |
We thought basically, if I medal, we will think about it. After I won, (Baylor) coach (Clyde) Hart and I sat down and we both agreed that there is nothing else in college for me to do. |
