Terrence Trammell is a 2-time Olympic medalist, 2-time World Champion, 3-time World Silver medalist and arguably the greatest sprint-hurdle combo athlete in history.

In our conversation, we talk about his upbringing in Atlanta and how. After watching the 1996 Olympics in his hometown at just 18 years old, he made it a goal to be at the next Games. He not only made it to the Olympics, but won silver in 2000 and would go on to win medals at various championships through 2010. We also discuss the importance of storytelling through the use of social media and the work he does now as a coach, mentor and leader through Trammell Athletics.

Finally, as one of the greatest sprint/hurdler combo athletes in history, we discuss how he made his way onto the 4x100m relay that ran at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin
