Ricky who's your agent here says in your book I think after you're win in Beijing you're not just usin anymore you're Usain Bolt the brand the business all the time that's what you were saying that level almost of of responsibility yeah uh you have to be a great role model you have to remember who you are at all times and cuz a lot of times you you have friends that forget who you are because he's used to you being a friend so he will be tempting for you to do different things or to go out
and just get crazy and you have to remember who you are so we'd like to draw out a few characteristics if we if we could is the fastest man on the planet essentially given half a chance quite lazy I am lazy uh in everything else I do I train pretty hard because I have to and that's the focus but for me I'm a lazy person uh I that's why I have a great team because they pick up the slack around me so for me it's always just wonderful just to be myself and just to enjoy
life but but reading your book obviously there was a time when you couldn't just get by your natural ability alone maybe that you had to say to your lazy Gan I need to actually put you in your place cuz I'm going to have to work even harder here to get even stronger as much as anything yeah when I started out uh I was pretty lazy uh all I wanted to do was just I was saying uh I can run fast because I remember going to Jamaican Charles and I won easily I was like oh sure
I'll be okay on it on the circuit got on the circuit couldn't win a race so then I said to my co my coach like listen he's saying everybody on on the circuit has talent so if you want to be the best you have to train that Talent so after that I started off slowly but I got into it over the years because now then I got more experience and I listen to my coach and I understand what he was saying so I got better over the years
