General Interest

General
PAN AMERICAN GAMES REDEMPTION
She says that winning long jump gold at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru, was made extra special as she had come through a difficult period where she struggled for consistency and considered quitting the sport. She also had to recover from a hamstring injury in order to compete in Lima. She credited the influence of coach Dwight Phillips in turning her fortunes around. "I felt lost. I was doing the work and everything I needed to do and it just wasn't clicking. I listened to him [Phillips], did everything in practice. Honestly, his experience as an athlete resonates with me because he understands my frustrations or if I'm trying to explain something, it might not be the correct words used, but he understands it. The [2019] season started with a great bang and then I had an injury, been up and down, with performances and trying to figure things out. And, to come here [the 2019 Pan American Games] and come out with the gold. That means everything to me." (vilifeandstyle.com, 17 Dec 2019)
