'I don't need baby talk' - Why Sha'Carri Richardson thrives under 'tough love' from coach Dennis Mitchell
The reigning women's 100m world champion has explained why she does not like to be coddled by her coach Dennis Mitchell.
In a recent interview with Essence, the track and field star reflected on what sets her apart as both an athlete and an individual.
"I would say one thing about myself that I adore and I love about me that most people may not know is that I am always going to show you who I am," she shared.
Richardson emphasized the importance of being true to herself, regardless of how others may perceive her.
She explained, "I have no problem doing it because no matter what, I always want people to be able to walk away from me and say, ‘I understand her. I can relate to that.’”
While her athletic prowess and accomplishments, including her silver medal and world championship title, have solidified her place in the sport, Richardson wants to be relatable on a deeper level.
"I want them to say, 'I may not relate to being an athlete, to being successful but I can relate to being human. I can relate to continuing to show up no matter what,'" she acknowledged.
