My dad said to me: \u201cSon, I know you love cricket, but forget it. Do Track and Field. It is an individual sports and if you work hard enough, you will be great.\u201d \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;That was the best advice that someone ever gave to me.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"contentRight\":\"\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Is there any advice that you would give to someone?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Do Track and Field \\u0026lt;em\\u0026gt;(laughs)\\u0026lt;\/em\\u0026gt;. No, seriously: \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Just enjoy what you do.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; When you enjoy it, you put your all into it. It does not matter what you do, as long as you love it.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Do you remember the times when you were slower than others?

I do not like to lose. I always strive for the best until I get there.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Have you seen athletes who are as gifted as you?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;There is this one kid called Michael O\u2019Hara, who is 17 years old. He has not really developed yet, but he is doing very well. If he develops more, he is going to be a great athlete.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Do you already know what you will be doing after your career?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;The only thing I know for sure is that I will still be working with PUMA.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; Besides from that I would like to try and play professional football. Hopefully, I will get a contract. It probably won\u2019t be a big team, but rather a small team somewhere. I am not saying that I will be great player, but it would give me a goal rather than sitting at home.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;\u00a0\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;And last but not least: What is the best place to go on holidays in Jamaica?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;It depends what you want to do. If you want to have it more quiet and private, you would probably go to Portland. If you come with a lady friend, you best go to the Goldeneye. This is that proper nice relaxing place. If you want to party a lot, come to Kingston. Most of the people though go to places like Montego Bay. \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Go there if you want to be a proper tourist.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"width\":\"Wide\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-headline {\"h1\":\"Check out more\",\"width\":\"Full\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-article-teaser-3 {\"migrateBlock\":true,\"numArticles\":3,\"title\":\"Check out more\",\"icon\":\"icon-puma\",\"manualArticles\":[{\"id\":1954},{\"id\":1036},{\"id\":976}],\"mode\":\"manual\"} \/-->","title":"Ich m\u00f6chte ein richtiger Sportler sein","excerpt":"Er kam als Zuschauer.
