Reid, who trains with Sha'Carri Richardson, has explained why Shericka Jackson is her biggest inspiration.
Fast-rising Jamaican sprint star Alana Reid has revealed why Shericka-Jackson is her biggest inspiration.
Reid, who also explained what she learnt the most from Shelly-Anne Fraser-Price who will be retiring later this year, has reserved special praise for Jackson, revealing the quality that has made her a legendary sprinter.
“I would say Shericka Jackson because it is just, she came from nowhere and now she is somewhere and something everybody has to look on," Reid told Fitzroy Dunkley.
“It teaches me that, no matter where you are coming from, when your time will come, it is just for you to stay humble. You might not progress immediately, but once you keep working towards it, a time will come when you will make your mark.
“That is the kind of person she is and she is really a goal getter. It is not for me to look at her any way. It is just for me to try to be myself but have a path where I have somebody to look up to.”
The 19-year-old has revealed that Fraser-Price has taught her to believe in herself more, something she says has helped her improve her game.
