Good work Ato I cannot see why Jamaica can't stop Kevona and the Clayton twins from running at Champs and join Ato's training Camp ''if he is open for such a move'' I think he could guide these talented youngsters to stardom,, he has proven that with Brianna,, ''no disrespect'' but I've never seen Brianna beat Kevona in an head to head contest.

[@TheSurvivor24]

Well now you guys had a chance to see Briana, Kevona and Kemba head to head at the Jamaica Senior Trials. She proved herself not once but twice. Briana handled her business.

@Tarek Jabal ......Khalifa needed to loose some weight in my opinion, I wonder if she wouldn't comply to Ato's demand ''to loose weight'' not everybody's willing to sacrifice eating habit, same goes for Kevona to address this constant injury problem. Bolt always speak about how hard it was for him to obey the Coach, and start eating differently,, diet is a great deal for sprinters.

judging on personality she seems narcicistic but i guess in that sort of way alot of champions relate because you have ro have that type of mentality to succeed in this sport.

[@ctrezzy11]

How? Because she wants to be the best. Guess everyone that wants to the best or be successful at what they do it’s a narcissist by your logic lol

[@luisanaya9327]

ctrezzy11 no because shes obssesed with being perfect and if things dont go her way she throws a fit and gets pouty its no secret im guessing youre the type of person to just watch one video ? . and yes actually in s way to be successful you do have to have at least 5 % narcissism to reach that end personal goal do ur research its scientifically proven

[@ctrezzy11]

luis anaya being obsessed with being perfect doesn’t make you a narcissist. That’s classified as being a perfectionists. And that’s how most athletics are. You don’t get far in life and accomplish great things being fucking mediocre. A narcissist is a individual who is all about them self and their own personal gain and only/like to talk about themselves and what they do/have done. I took psychology and I’m an athletic so I can relate to her wanting to be the best and not happy with her time. Just because you don’t strive for greatness or being the best, doesn’t mean someone else is is a “narcissist”for wanting to push and challenge themselves.

[@luisanaya9327]

ctrezzy11 as someone who has studied phsychology id expect you to know this...reread what i wrote i said in order to be a champion in some sort of way you have to be narcisistic the percentage of narcissism abviously varies with the type of personality you have hence the "self motivation" it doesnt have to be 100% narcissism 10% 5 % but i will gaurantee you there is a level of narcissism .. you dont have to be a psychology major to know this you just have to be aware of people traits .. remember the best actors have personality disorders and psychotic traits... youre either a shark or a fish and thats the way it is theres not a gray area
