Christian Coleman reflects on turbulent season including training under Sha’Carri Richardson’s coach

Christian Coleman has gone down memory lane about his turbulent season, opening up about training under Sha’Carri Richardson’s coach and personal life changes.

Christian Coleman has reflected on his turbulent season that even saw him make great changes including starting to work with Sha’Carri Richardson’s coach Dennis Mitchell.

Coleman had been off to a great start to his season, winning the title at the World Indoor Championships before winning the Diamond League Meeting in Xiamen and finishing second in Suzhou. The former world champion also claimed top honours at the Prefontaine Classic.

However, the US Olympic trials saw an unexpected turn in his career as he missed out on an individual slot in the Paris Olympic Games. He finished fourth in the 100m and 200m finals and was only eligible for the relay.

The American sprint king, in an interview with Citius Mag, explained that he has made a lot of changes in his life, both on the track and in his personal life. He noted that people never see the aspect of athletes being humans but are always focused on their track exploits, insisting that the human nature of athletes also plays a huge role in their careers.

“I think the year for me is that I did some things well and I know I need to improve on other things. I feel like it has been a transformational or transitional summer for me. Just like the coaching changes, my personal life and just growing and I mean, I think a lot of people look at us as athletes but the humanistic side of it too really matters,” Coleman said.

“Just to get out of your mind and get what you need out of your body. It’s been a summer where I didn’t do everything I wanted to do but I feel like everything is happening how it’s supposed to and a lot of things unfolded how they needed to just so I can be better in my next phase,” he added.

Coleman also pointed out that he wanted to claim top honours in Brussels but he did not execute the race well. In the men’s 100m, Ackeem Blake claimed the win ahead of Coleman and Fred Kerley, who finished second and third respectively.

However, he fired warning shots at his rivals ahead of next season, noting that he has been working behind the scenes this season and will look to put it all together in 2025.

“I would have wanted to come out here and win my last race but I still think I did some things well and there are others I need to work on. Like I said, I’ve been working on a lot and I need to put it all together next year with a full season under my belt,” Coleman said.
