While athletes have their individual goals and aim to excel at the track, they end up fulfilling those and becoming inspirations for several along the way. Twanisha Terry, who aced the Olympics with her individual short-distance sprints and the relay, has been one of the several athletes who have fueled others to do their best. Embracing her role of being a driving force for others, she recently took on a new adventure around the same.
In her recent post, Terry revealed how fellow Olympian Teahna Daniels invited her to one of her Youth Sprint Clinics for some on-field action. The event aimed at inspiring young children who had an inclination towards track and field and wanted to include athletics in their lives.
Terry was overjoyed to interact with young children who immediately seemed to have taken to her as mentees. She talked about setting realistic goals and gave a view of her experience across various sports and her subsequent success.

The Olympian also got down in the field to train the kids on proper sprint starts, strategy, and the basics of pacing through the track. She then wrapped up the event with photoshoots and interviews while soaking in all the sunshine and warmth that the students and faculties showered upon her.
Throughout her experience at the event, Terry revealed in a heartfelt note how she loved interacting with young track stars the most. Her idea about being a good athlete wasn’t simply having a good track record but also making sure to be an inspiration for the youth. And in doing so, she knew she wouldn’t hold herself back in the process at any cost.
“Whenever I have the opportunity to spend time with the youth, I will do it with no hesitation.”
Terry has been one of the promising athletes on track this season, especially given how she won the gold at her debut Olympics. Her principles surrounding teamwork and relay stole the hearts of fans who expressed their awe at the female sprinters this season.
But as for the 25-year-old Olympian, she hasn’t been able to catch a break since her return from Paris. From stunning at the New York Fashion Week to receiving the city key for Miami-Dade County, Terry has been living a life of fame and glory. While the season has come to an end more or less, fans hope to see more of her performances next year at the various track events coming up soon.
