On today's select edition of the podcast, we look back at the episode 403 featuring American legendary Sprinter - Justin Gatlin.

Justin Gatlin is a name that stands out in the world of track and field. Over a career spanning more than two decades, he established himself as one of the fastest men on the planet. From winning Olympic gold in the 100m at the 2004 Athens Games to securing multiple World Championship titles, including his unforgettable victory in 2017 at the age of 35, Gatlin’s journey has been nothing short of extraordinary

However, his story is not without its challenges. Gatlin faced doping bans early in his career, which cast a shadow over his achievements. But his resilience and determination to compete at the highest level saw him make an impressive comeback, cementing his place as one of the most enduring figures in the sport. In 2022, Gatlin retired, leaving behind a legacy that’s as complex as it is inspiring.

Here are some lessons you can take from his career journey which can be found helpful:
