It's everybody else who's just figuring that out because they're usually like a title associated with it. And in my head, I'm like, Well, if that's what you guys need, I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna get the proof. But to me, I'm still the same guy. I hope the message that they got is, no matter what obstacles or hurdles that you have and you're facing, that you don't believe that you're gonna be stuck with them forever. That shouldn't diminish what you believe to be accomplished as you go on through life. I know a lot of people who get stuck in that space because they feel this is, you know, a disability, or this is this is the cap as far as they can go, just because they have such a thing as a depression, anxiety. You know, maybe they're amputee, maybe they, you know, deal with being on the spectrum. You know, that shouldn't matter. Your goals should not be limited to the situation that you're in because you can always shoot for more. And if you don't why should you hurt yourself or blame yourself for not trying? Anytime I've gotten COVID, it's never been about the temperatures. It's always been about the body aches, the chills, the headaches, the cold, and then asthma joining in on that and making it even worse. That's, you know, our worst fear. I mean, we were when I was back in the medical bay underneath the track, their biggest concern was, you know, me getting bronchitis because we didn't want something to get infected, and the asthma really started to take form. So we had to really jump on top of that because if that was the case, I probably would have had to get a trip to the hospital, for sure. And of course, no, this is not how I envisioned my Paris Olympics, but I'm just as proud of myself as I would have been if I obtained four, three gold medals. You know, grabbing the hundred was, I think the most important. My mom used to say, the higher you go up on the ladder, the more of your underwear show. So regardless, people are going to have opinions. And to be honest, they've never met me, so they wouldn't know. But everybody who's ever met me comes away saying, Oh my gosh, I feel so inspired. That was the coolest guy I've ever met the thing that I'm the most proud of for him is that he has a teachable heart. So that is something that you can't really parent, you can't really coach. So if I say something to and I'm like, Noah, I think you might want to consider X Y and C. Then he'll actually sit down and listen, or if I'll say Noah, I think this came off inappropriately or Noah, let's not do this. Then instead of saying, Oh, Mom, we don't know what you're talking about, he'll actually listen. And I might be right, and I might be wrong. But the fact that he actually listens to myself and his pops is what makes the difference. And I really appreciate the fact that he'll even send a text message after we have the uncomfortable conversations. He'll say something like thank you for telling me the things that I didn't want to hear. Thank you for being honest with me. Thank you for being part of my family, because those show emotional maturity. So, yeah, this is all great and the metals and everything, but it's those moments that I'm the most proud of him for. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Noah Lyles Feared Bronchitis After Positive COVID-19 Test","description":"Asthma didn't stop Noah Lyles from taking on the 200 meter at the Paris Olympics, even after testing positive for COVID-19.
