KD talks about athletes planning for life after track : Speakers & Interviews

Damn this guy is a great speaker. I enjoyed this video, everybody really can learn something from KD.

Great!

i don't think the Bible is literally talking about talents.

I really hope to be able to use track as an avenue to do some of the same things KD uses it for. Him and Coach Gray inspire me everyday to run and get the most out my talent and potential as possible.

one of the best flotrack vids. thanks for the inspiration kd.

KD came to the realization that he will not get the American Record and he is moving on.

He's right, how we respond in defeat is what defines us...

this is probably one of the best videos that has been posted in while

KD the MAN

everyone can learn something from this man

KD'S so smart

Awesome video, I really enjoyed what he had to say.

He is truly amazing. I would love to hear one of his speeches!

A great speech from a person who is a professional of the sport, and to let others know that even the best are human by being nervous. And also to compare the sport to life, because not all professionals will compete in athletics professionally forever.

Great interview
just awesome stuff

great talk KD

a great ambassador for the sport.

simply amazing. what a class act.
he has more wisdom than most people at his age. just amazing.

That was a really good talk. I would love to go to one of KD's speeches and hear more!

the more i hear this guy talk, the more i like him! great runner, great person!

Hey, great video. Thanks so much!

A nice young man with a good head on his shoulders!

That was a great explanation of KD's motivations! It gave me something to think about!

I hope this post isn't taken out of context, but KD has specifically been an amazing inspiration to African American distance runners like myself. As crazy as it may sound, many AA youth are discouraged from running distance and are literally either A. Told to quit the track team because their too slow for the 4x100 relay squad or B. Simply schooled in an urban environment that has no resources, coaches, or general knowledge about distance training or competition. Every time I see KD run or listen to him speak, it reminds me of how many other talented AA kids are walking the streets idly, venturing into crime with other talented kids who could be running and preparing for college--probably on scholarship. I sincerely hope he writes a book one day, not simply chronicling his life as a runner, but showing other kids who look like him and come from similar backgrounds as himself that anything is possible when you use untapped talent. Running has given him this platform upon which his message can be launched.
