The former world indoor champion advised young athletes like Quincy Wilson and Gout Gout to prioritise savings over unnecessary spending.
Former world indoor champion Trayvon Bromell has shared wise counsel with upcoming athletes including Quincy Wilson, Gout Gout and Travis Miller as they chase global stardom.
Bromell who will be eyeing a strong comeback this season after an injury setback in 2024, urged the youngsters to focus on saving more than spending it on unnecessary things like buying many cars.
The American Sprint King revealed that the future is pregnant and advised that it is always a smart move to ensure that they have something for rainy days.
Gout Gout has overcome identity challenges and personal struggles to break records but who are the people behind his success?
He also urged the athletes to focus on nurturing their physical well-being, while also taking care of their mental health since it will play a huge role in shaping their longevity in the sport.
“I know who I am and I always trusted myself even growing up and if would go back to my younger self I would tell him not to buy all the cars,” Trayvon Bromell shared in an interview with Track World News.
“Leave the cars alone, and save your money cause you never know what’s going to come and that’s the thing.
“I’ve gone through so many battles in my life that I wish I could tell myself I wasn’t prepared for what was to come emotionally and physically and I would be focused on my physical training. I would definitely take care of my body.”
At the moment, Trayvon Bromell has turned on a new leaf and looks to inspire other youngsters to walk in the light of God.
He urged youngsters from all walks of life to invest in themselves by going to school and getting those degrees while also nurturing their talents.
