How To Believe In Yourself: Noah Lyles - Fastest Man In The World and Olympic Gold Medalist

Noah Lyles, grew up in a religious cult.
He was physically and emotionally bullied in school by girls and suffers with asthma.
But he’s just won the gold medal in the 100m sprint at the Paris olympics.
I first met Noah last year when he walked for Hugo Boss in their TechTopia Show with Gigi Hadid & Anthony Joshua. Since then I’ve seen him chill with Snoop Dogg, appear on Jimmy Fallon & be the main character in the new Netflix Series Sprint.
People call him, arrogant, obnoxious & overconfident - but I sat down with a man who’s guilty of only one thing. Having an unwavering belief in himself incomparable to anyone else I’ve ever met.
Noah has ADD, anxiety, depression, allergies, asthma yet allows none of this to stop him. What inspired me the most was none of his accomplishments but his ability, in a world of such judgment and comparison, to expressively and unapologetically be himself. He’s dismissive of his downfalls and refuses to see them as barriers. He’s unashamed of his emotions, therapy and dependance on his mum which only seems to make him stronger and more secure.
I’ve never met a super hero but Noah is the closest thing to what I imagine one to be like.
We talk about his love for fashion, his runway experience in Milan, his highest grossing Netflix documentary & so much more.
If belief in yourself is what you need, listen to Noah. His advice and energy is infectious.

He’s so much closer to his goals now. I’m glad he works on keeping a strong mindset. I wanna keep seeing him win!

[@Yes_I_c4n]

He is? His goal was double at the Olympics. His goal was 200m gold at the Olympics. He didn't get any of that... How come he is closer to his goals?

[@jtb2611]

@@Yes_I_c4n clutched 100m gold with a terrible start, ran 150m in the second fastest time in history, won 100m, 200m, and 4*100m in the world athletics championships last year, got new american record for 200m in 2022, in fact, he won the 200m race 27 times in a row. Stop ignoring his accomplishments.

@@jtb2611 Stop being a fangirl. AR in the 200m? That was back in 2022. Plus, who cares about the AR? Lol, only fangirls do. Every country has its own record, the american one is not particularly relevant. Only to his fangirls.

[@Yes_I_c4n]

@@jtb2611 With a bad start? That's the way he always starts. Have you been watching track lately? The main issue is that Lyles was up against elite guys this time around, all of them starting relatively faster like they usually do. So it kind of seemed that Lyles was slower than usual, when he was just his usual self. 3.88s at 30m and 6.44s at 60m. You think Lyles is Coleman or what? Ludicrous...

[@epicperson137]

@@Yes_I_c4n People care about the american record because america has produced many historical sprinters throughout the decades

[@lowtreklil]

His creativity helped him overcome the worst. He's smart enough to know that he needed help to work better on himself. That was pretty instructive. He's much more social than people may think.

I've really started warming up to Noah since watching his interview with Asafa Powell, I love his unwavering self belief.

You have to judge this man by his heart not his behavior on the track that he is only doing to bring attention to his sport. The man is a great person and he wants greatness!!!! A person chasing greatness cannot think like the average person!!!!!

[@jtb2611]

Yeah exactly. This sport is no longer boring to watch now that Usain Bolt is gone because of him and many others (but mainly him)

[@VivaLaFamous]

For someone who’s been into fashion and art since I was a teenager (I’m 30 years old now) I agree with what was said in the start of the video. Fashion, more so style, is all about expressing your creativity, individuality, and personality WITH CONFIDENCE!!! I lived in NYC all my life and being into fashion is so fun down here. Hope I can make it far one day.

[@keisha5184]

the interview Ive been waiting on see this is what other athletics dont do and they get upset when they don't get sponsorship like the people want to see you they want to know your story and who you are. Put yourself out there and broadcast that personality behind the field.

[@Naomi-zj2yf]

Great podcast interview learnt a lot about him 🎉congulations on your medals from the Olympics

[@keithkosmal]

I'll just say, for Lyles to predict that he was capable of Pr-ing in the 200 going into the olympics, kinda sucks that we'll never know. But he seems to respond well to not achieving his goals after the moment has passed, so I'm really looking forward to what he can do moving forward.
