  1. Excellent and informative podcast guys. Thanks for providing Ato Boldon with a platform to be direct and open about our sport, the continued lack of professionalism that surrounds it as well as a great insight into his career(s). Keep up the good work

  2. Great pod! The convo was flowing and informative!

  3. I sat down here and thoroughly enjoyed this , Learning about track and fields methodology and of course hearing my favorite TT Champion whom I grew up following all his races from 1995-2004. Thank you, ATO, for reliving some moments and giving your expert analytical advice.
