13.Olympic gold medalist Morolake Akinosun walked through the halls of her high school in Illinois in the US,surprised at how little had changed at her old high school other than the green color on the walls.
Akinosun won her medal with the 400-meter relay team at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro this summer.Her return to her high school recently included a chance for the young woman to tell what she's learned since running track for Wsubonsie more than fours year ago.
Her first piece of advice to the crowd of students was asking them to listen to their parents."They see things you can't see,"she said."In high school I thought I was on the top of the world."
In Akinosun's case,her parents encouraged her to consider going to the University of Illinois,which at the time had a team that was coached by Olympic medal winner Tonja Buford-Bailey."I wouldn't be where I am today without my parents,"she said.
Her parents saw Buford-Bailey as a good fit to coach their daughter,something Akinosun said she didn't understand at the time.It didn't take long,however,for her to see they were right and she ended up following Buford-Bailey to the University of Texas at Austin when the coach took a job there.Akinosun admitted it was three years before she told her parents they were right.
Becoming an excellent athlete who can take part in the Olympics needs serious dedication.She says her success came from viewing herself as an athlete-student instead of a student-athlete.
"I always put track and field first,and then comes school,"Akinosun said.A social life comes last.
"It's about sacrifices(犧牲).You can't be on the track team unless you're chosen,"she added.
Making athletics the most important thing in her life meant committing fully,no matter how she might feel on a given day."I never missed a training session (環(huán)節(jié)) in my four years in college,"she said."It's my job; it's what I do.Think about that when you want to sleep in."
