Enfield and Haringey Athletic Club [London, GBR]

Jonas Dodoo [personal], GBR, from 2013

In June 2019 he sustained a hamstring injury at the 2019 Diamond League meet in Oslo, Norway. The injury ruled him out of the 2019 World Championships in Doha, Qatar. (sport360.com, 13 Feb 2020; telegraph.co.uk, 13 Aug 2019)

He was affected by hamstring injuries during his junior career. (telegraph.co.uk, 13 Aug 2019)

He took up athletics at Enfield and Haringey Athletic Club in England. (thesun.co.uk, 24 Jul 2019)

He tried a number of sports before settling on athletics. "I learned skills in each different sport. In football, it was my general fitness, leg conditioning. Tennis taught me hand-to-eye coordination and balance. Basketball taught me about jumping and reacting. So, when I got to athletics I already had a decent background. I won school sports day aged 11. I went to county and district races. My grandad passed away around that period. I was in a down mood one day. My mum said, 'Why don't you go to an athletics event, that might cheer you up'. We went to Lee Valley Athletics. I did my first open meeting and ran 11-something [seconds] in my first race. I came off and was buzzing. I thought, 'Maybe I could do this'."

General Interest

General
ATHLETICS VS ESTATE AGENT
He considered pursuing a career as an estate agent before deciding to focus on athletics. "I like property and the thought of working my way up in things. A lot of my friends are doing it at the moment. They started selling off rentals and then moving up. It was something that I wanted to do. But luckily, I did one race at 20.7 seconds and I got a Nike junior contract off the back of it. If I didn't, I wouldn't have continued. I was working three jobs at the time. I've always been a grafter. I've never been someone to sit at home." (sport360.com, 13 Feb 2020)
