Sha'Carri Richardson spoke about her training during High School and College in an interview with Flo Track. The American athlete expressed how she learned an important lesson about hard work and discipline during her time as a high school athlete.

Moreover, continuing to have a strong work ethic as an athlete helped her to succeed in her high school as well as college career at LSU.

“I would say if anything that I take most from that time of my life training-wise, I would say the amount of work I realized it takes to be great and also doing that. I feel like I learned most of my self-discipline during that time period as well. Just knowing that I have capabilities that I was blessed with on top of the fact that I'm willing to put work ethic on top of that, showing the results even in high school, what I was able to do.”

Sha'Carri Richardson also shared about how she had a slight change of mindset during her college career.

“And just being able to just remember that and roll that over going into college, still being able to discipline myself because I knew I had certain things in mind I wanted to do and, people that I wanted to prove wrong, people that I want to make proud," she added.

Even though she has seen multiple phases in her track career, her only goal was to dominate the circuit and put forward her best performance every time that she stepped on the track.
