The entire world is watching, scrutinize you
based on your looks, based on how you live your life.
Block the noise, or any negativity.
If it's about winning, yes.
But it's about negativity, you are wasting your time.
The only thing I care about is that
I come here, I change the game.
For the past six months, seven,
it has not been easy because adaptation phase
it has been haunting the body
trying to get used to these long runs,
getting into this speed work
the speed endurance
every day counts, every seconds count.
I'm enjoying each and every moment of training
because it's never easy in the office.
There's nothing that can challenge me out there
because I always overcome it.
I am my own challenge.
That I'm the one who can stop myself.
Today, we are going to University of Pretoria.
That's where we train.
And it start off with me waking up five o'clock
getting into University of Pretoria grounds.
I do my morning runs 6:30.
Then, I start off with my work
with the assistant coach in academy.
And after that, obviously, then I'll get back home
to you know, interact with my kids.
When I get home, you know, the energy
it feels like paradise.
We love each other like immensely.
After having our, these two miracle babies
they make us to be better people, they change our lives.
Me and Violet,
the kind of the love that we have for each other
it is for good.
So our love is like
the American movie "Love & Basketball."
That's the problem
'cause (speaking in foreign language).
I'm all right, I'm all right, I'm all right.
When you build a relationship with someone
who's there you know, for you
not for just what you are about to become
or what you are about to achieve
me and Violet we have built,
you know, strong bond where we support each other.
She pushes me hard
so I can be, you know, better.
We are here for one goal.
Those are the most important things
that you need as an adult and as a partner
I can't say I'm a perfect coach.
I just do what I love.
But in South Africa,
they take everything that women do lightly.
They think you can't do what men does.
So I just need to see a lot of women
believing in themselves, coming out of that comfort zone.
And then I know women we go through a lot.
You can be a mother, you can be a wife.
You can be a coach, you can be an athlete.
Whatever we are doing, we're not doing for our kids only.
We do it for other kids.
Currently in Tuks High Academy
it's in the University of Pretoria.
My role is an assistant coach, middle and long distance.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, (indistinct).
Bend.
What gets me up from bed every day
is I wanna be different.
I want people to see life in a different way.
I want people to live with positivity.
I run community programs.
It's all about installing the knowledge.
I'm that kind of a person who likes helping others,
empowering, you know, the youth
making sure that, you know,
they understand the principle of life,
understand your self love.
It's all about understanding yourself
and knowing yourself better, knowing what you want in life.
We define winning in many ways,
winning for me is not about winning a race on the track.
It's like winning in life.
If I'm gonna come in better someone's life, that's winning.
Empowering you know, the youth that's winning
and my kids I'm building legacy for them
so that it can carry on, I'm winning for them.
Quitting is not in my DNA.
Eliminate me
then my legacy will live on.
