Before he attended university he chose athletics over pursuing a career in American football, which he played at high school. "I talked to my parents and they asked me, 'Do you want to be an NFL player or an Olympian?' In my heart, I wanted to be an Olympian. American football is very unforgiving on the body. My coach Mike Holloway persuaded me to choose track." (worldathletics.org, 03 Oct 2019; flotrack.org, 13 Jan 2017)
