Wallace Spearmon is a 4-time World Championship medalist, and still one of the fastest 200m runners in the history of the sport.

He talks with us about recently transitioning into his post track career and now having the opportunity to work with current athletes to help fix some of the problems he experienced while he was competing as an athlete. We also dive into his personality on the track, role models and his support system while competing as well as a discussion on if more prominent sprint clubs and rivalries are needed in Track & Field now.
