For me, this is the most puzzling part of this whole situation. She was so outspoken and publicly confident in what she was about to do at Prefontaine and I have a hard time believing she didn't know that she wasn't ready (mentally, physically etc). Whether its because she didn't train hard, or she wasn't on the enhancers she was previously on .... whatever. She was SO sure she was about to do something big.
Hence why I don't buy her act. None of this is real. She's not a confident person at all. Quite the opposite. She's been overcompensating this whole time. It's all false bravado.
Someone who sees the big picture.
She’s used to talking big, because she’s been blowing the field away since high school, winning races is probably a huge part of her self-esteem especially when you consider her background.
Now she’s in the big leagues and she can’t afford to switch up and act scared, so she’s just doing what she’s comes naturally. Talking smack to hype herself up and project confidence, and intimidate her opponents.
If you take away her athletic ability, who is she really? She probably doesn’t even know who she is, besides being an athlete.
It’s not fooling anyone with real world experience. It’s definitely not fooling the Jamaicans.
