The previous year may not have gone as planned for Christian Coleman. However, the 29-year-old athlete is far from disappointed. In his conversation with Pulse Sports, the sprinter revealed his mindset for the 2025 season.

"I would say to be determined, we talked about it a little bit but we’ll see how things go in the next few months… I think the big plan for me, or the big goal for me is just… I feel like I have been in the highest highs of the sport and the lowest lows and for me, putting it all out together and reaching my goals that I know I’m capable of achieving," Coleman said.

Coleman mentioned that although he doesn't have specific goals, he wishes to maximize his abilities. He added:

“I want to maximize my full talent and ability while I still have it right now, so, I don’t know, no specific goals looking into next season just yet but I just want to be at my best. I know I haven’t been performing the way I’m capable of, so just putting it all out together is the main thing for next season."

Christian Coleman was a part of the 4x100m relay squad representing the USA at the Paris Olympics in 2024. Despite being a top contender for the gold, a baton exchange error pulled the USA out of contention for a podium finish.
