Usain Bolt on his mindset that brought him success

Former sprinting sensation Usain Bolt revealed what drove him to success in an interview. Bolt has won a remarkable eight Olympic gold medals and set a world record time of 9.58 seconds in the 100m at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin.

In an interview on the High Performance podcast, Bolt revealed what drives him to success, including a little bit of backstory about his mindset at a young age. (8:44 onwards)

"I was 15 when I won the World Juniors. I was really young, I was really talented so I didn't have to work as hard, it was just talent. I was winning and winning and winning and I remember when I got to the professional level, and I felt like it was just going to be easy. Then I got onto the stage and I would go to meets and I would lose, and I was like, this is strange, this is new," said Bolt.

"When I started working with Coach Mills, he kind of sat me down and explained that, "Listen, everybody who's a professional has talent. So it's who works the hardest on their talent that will be the best, and that's when I kind of understood that you can't get to the top with just talent alone. You need work, you need sacrifice, you have to be dedicated and it took me time but I learned along the way and I got better over time."

Usain Bolt is now enjoying retirement and hopes to see the Golden State Warriors win against the Houston Rockets in their playoff match.
