Usain Bolt shared how a cricket coach changed his fate
In an attractive revelation, Bolt revealed that his sprinting career was almost never. He started his school cricket team as a fast bowler in Jamaica, and was his cricket coach who focused on his extraordinary running ability and encouraged him to try tracks and fields.
Bolt said, “Well, for me, it was my cricket coach. I was a fast bowler, and my cricket coach saw me running inside, and he said, ‘You know what, not trying the track and field?” And I tried, and I was really good.
If he was not directed to sprinting, Bolt believes he could move cricket professionally, inspired by his father’s passion for the game.
