Richards-Ross is now an analyst for NBC Sports for track and field and has been following many of the athletes, including notable North Texans, who will be in Eugene, Oregon for the trials June 21-30.In her time on the track, she won Olympic gold in the 4x400 meter relay in 2004, 2008 and 2012. She also won gold in the 400 meter at the London Games in 2012 and bronze in the 400 meter Beijing in 2008.
How much is this sport the mental component and not just the physical training, especially when everyone has to perform at trials in order to make the team? “I think that over the last couple of years, we have seen just how important mental health and you know, focusing on your mental fortitude and strength is so important for these athletes. I think that, like I mentioned, it's been even tougher for them, you know, these last four years leading up to this point. I think the athletes have proven to do a really good job.
For example, you look at someone like Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone who I think balances the pressure so well. I feel like she is on social media just enough. I feel like she's insulated herself with a great team of people. She keeps the main thing, the main thing. I think that’s what’s important, especially in this time for athletes.
