U.S. sprinter Allyson Felix should be mentally and physically ready to face some of the fastest women on the planet when she goes for 200 and 400 meters gold at the World Championships but it is how she handles the moments away from track that could determine her success.
The three-times world 200 champion is bidding to become the first woman to win a world championship 200-400 double and coach Bob Kersee told Reuters that the key was balancing her training with the myriad of obligations that come with being a top athlete.
"How to handle each and every day, that is the key," Kersee, who has coached Olympic champions and world record holders during his long career, said in a telephone interview.
