Allyson Felix

Did you know that Allyson is the most decorated American Olympic track and field athlete ever (11 medals)? She has competed in five Olympics from ages 18 to 35. Her discussion with Adam Grant on his podcast “Taken for Granted” is fascinating as the two friends cover many topics including Allyson’s career and the psychological implications of only being second best. I also found the discussion of sponsorships interesting and the about-face companies take when an athlete reveals that she is pregnant.
