10:41 _"Are you proud of me?"_ I don't know why but that hit me like a ton of emotional bricks. We all need emotional reinforcement. And sometimes we just need to hear it expressed as well as felt. I used to ask this of myself for so many years, and internally I always said "No." Because externally so many said, "No." But you soldier on and keep fighting. Way to keep fighting, Sydney. 👏🏽👍🏼

Your coach is a wise man. It is great to see how you trust him. He tested your body and you delivered exactly what he wanted to see. I cannot wait for your times throughout the season and in the future. You have already achieved what most could only dream of. You are truly an inspiration in countries across the world. Your work ethic has inspired my kids to try harder all the way in South Africa. It is awesome to see your hubby in the video. Family is super important.

[@therealkray93]

As a fan, I must say that it’s a privilege to see this perspective from the greatest athlete we have currently competing (in my opinion, and others.) The access, the vulnerability, the support system, the ability for you to be such a faithful servant in victory and defeat. They way you look at the journey and not just the outcome, is defeat even a thing? It was a joy to watch. I don’t know how many of these we as fans will receive from you. You may not know, but thank you. Peace and blessings on this journey. We hope you’re enjoying it as much as we as fans are witnessing it 💚

A husband like sydney’s is a true example of the kind of husband I want to be for my wife. Be her #1 fan, a husband, the priest of the household, a friend, cheer leader, motivator etc. He emulates the love of Christ and shares that love with his wife. And to you Sydney, I don’t know you but myself and everyone else is super proud of you. You’ll do great by the grace of God!🙏🏾 Thanks to Danny and his team for putting this together.

[@zohall6034]

Sydney is going to break the world record. I know the record seems far fetched, but her mindset and discipline are already there. She’s not just relying on talent, she a student of the sport and shows up every single day ready to learn. Her support system plays a huge role because they don’t pressure her to win. They encourage her to do her best. There is a difference. We are witnessing history unfold right in front of our eyes and we should savor every moment of it as track and field fanatics. Congratulations to her and all of the amazing athletes etching their names in the history books. More to come!

[@joaofernandodasilva681]

How beautiful is watching them pray before the race, I loved this so much!

You can tell she really loves and admires her husband when she asked him after the race if he was proud of her because she asked him with such sincerity. And you could tell by her smile after he said he was and her 200 time how happy she was. They really balance each other out well and having such a great support system behind her like that is why she’s going to continue to dominate in the sport for years to come

Gotta admit this short documentary has opened my eyes and realized she is human and I was really upset she lost. But one channel broke down her splits and she ran an incredible race. Her first 200 was 22.6. She is the one who will break the 400m record. I know there is a lot of pressure on her but she has a great support group.

Thank you for the inspiration. Whether it is running the 400m, writing an academic paper, or taking care of loved ones, this is an inspiration on how to do it the right way. I loved the quote about being humble, but know that even though you didn't win that race, you were not defeated. Defeat comes only when we stop progressing and I have no doubt you'll be on the top of the medal stand before the end of the season. Thanks for the video.

This such a beautiful video! Thank you for sharing this, Sydney. 🙏 It is good to see the heart(s) and process behind the actual race, and races to come. I love the support you get from André and the prayer he prayed for you, oh... and the honesty in the video. I used to run 200m, 400m and 800m in my last year of high school, after changing over from middle distances, but the 400m was my favourite. Now I am 49 years of age and run road races up to ultra marathons (crazy, I know 😂😂). I take a lot from this video regarding training and life. ❤ Thank you for that. You have an amazing team around you Sydney, with André, your coach and the rest! I look forward to see how your season progress. Greetings and blessings from South Africa. Reynier
