Noah Lyles explains that his success is as a result of hard work, sacrifice and determination and he has never used good fortune to claim victory.
Olympic 100m champion Noah Lyles has said he has never associated himself with luck during races.
Lyles, who is a six-time world champion maintained that he fully trusts in God and thorough preparations to achieve his success unlike his rivals who most of the time bank on good fortune to prevail against opponents.
Noah Lyles comes from a family of Olympians including a former American holder and two-time Olympics champion.

He said: “I don’t really believe in luck all that much. I believe in God and I believe in preparing for the moment. If it’s not my day then God has something special for somebody else. You know and maybe it just wasn’t my day to you know be the vessel at the very front but I could be a vessel for somebody else somewhere in their life at that point in time.”

Noah Lyles, a triple world champion, revealed that he and his brother naturally gravitated toward track and field after playing multiple sports, with support from their parents, including coaching from their father, and has since found success with endorsements and victories despite recent setbacks.
“I look at a situation. It’s like I’m going to prepare with each step I take whether that’s diet, whether that’s mentally, whether that’s the team around me and making sure that everybody else is at the same mental fortitude. I want to be the best in whatever craft I’m in. You know that type of mentality constantly pushes me forward and at the end of the day to be honest.”
