Let’s get to the point; It was a tough year for Sha’Carri Richardson in 2021. Despite performing well at the US trials, she lost her way somehow and hit the back door. But, heading to the new year, like everyone, she is optimistic. A talent for the ages, Richardson has the potential to replace Florence Griffith-Joyner, in becoming an incredible talent for the United States of America.

With a ceiling as high as hers, she is fighting hard to have an amazing 2022 athletics season. With all the negativity surrounding her, it’s time for people to stand up and appreciate the talent she is. Recently, she tweeted about her focus ahead of the next season, vowing to not finish last.

Sha’Carri Richardson can win back the haters

The importance of putting on a good show for herself would lift her confidence before the 2024 Paris Olympics. Not every athlete can be the sixth-fastest sprinter in the world. The 100-meters competition in Miami saw her posting a time of 10.72 seconds while shocking everyone in attendance.

But, her comeback after her infamous doping ban, saw her finish last in her race with the Jamaican trio of Elaine Thompson-Herah, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, and Shericka Jackson dominating the finish line. Putting it all in the past, she posted a tweet on how that wouldn’t happen again.

“Y’all that keep saying I came last MONTHS AGO & y’all won’t see that again but has your life changed since ? Same place right ?” said Sha’Carri.

Smart words from an incredible sprinter. As the pressure is on her, one must not forget she is still 21 and still learning her craft. To clock a time of 10.72 is no easy feat. To work on it, we get to Michael Jordan’s playbook of motivation.

“My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength. My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength,” said Jordan.

A match made in heaven

Surely, there are chances of a fairy-tale ending for the talented sprinter. The race that she finished last happened on the same track that the 2022 World Athletics Championships will be held on; Talk about irony. She can shut down all her critics, if she manages a win in Eugene, Oregon. Training hard for the next season, the golden lioness can set the house on fire.

Turning a negative into a positive would be key, so as to focus on her mental health. Come what may, this year is different for Richardson. Motivated, hungry, determined, can Sha’Carri Richardson make amends for her disappointing 2021 and become the new 100-meter champion in 2022?
