Congrats, if he can win in two more he can just concentrate on track for the yr. $50k is not enough to cover food, health, supplements, coaches fees, travel, equipment, rent, utilities etc. It's about 200k or more just to get through training without any major injuries.

$50,000 is a lot of money. But it’s not life changing. But prize money is not the end all be all of changing the sport. Some of these athletes need salaries and such to be able to compete on the world level.

I never knew track athletes worked regular jobs and competed. 😕

Lamar Jackson says he watched friends chase fast money while he was playing the long game and counting how many years it would take him to reach the NFL “I’m seeing my friends who I was growing up with who I was playing football with… Just throw their life away for fast money and stuff like that. They used to tell me ‘Oh, you talk too much’. Because I used to always speak about football and positivity stuff. They didn’t want to hear that.” “Now it’s like… They’d rather hear it now because I’m Lamar Jackson. But I’ve been speaking about it. Everybody just wasn’t listening. I was already seeing what was going on. I wish we could go back in time and y’all could see what I was seeing. Because I always looked at life like, I counted years.” “Like I would think… ‘How many years does it take to get to the league?’ They’re saying… ‘You do three years in college.’ I said… ‘I’m doing three years.’ I’m not doing four. I’m not trying to go fifth year. I’m doing three years because I’m going to make sure my family is good.” “If you’re coming from a place like where I come from, don’t try to be like the guys around you. Don’t look up to the stuff that looks like it’s fun… Because sometimes it gets you in trouble.” “It’s sacrificing. ‘Man, I can’t have fun right now. I’ve got to get my family right. I can’t do this right now. I can’t mess up.’ Forget the fast money. I’ve got to think about longevity.” “You can get locked up and do five years for $1,000. That money gone. It’s gone. You’re like… ‘Man, I just did that for $1,000…’ And I could have waited five years and I would’ve had $10 million.” “That’s why I’m where I’m at right now. That’s how I used to think. My mom working… She’s busting her behind. It’s me, my brother and my two sisters at home. I’m the oldest…” “So I’ve got to make sure everybody right. And it’s like… Man, I can’t wait, but I’ve got to wait. That’s the sacrifice. I’ve got to be patient. People don’t look at it like that. It’s like… ‘Man, I need that money right now.’ But you don’t need that money right now. Just wait.”

💭 How long are you staying (in Japan)??? 🌻 I’m not staying that long. And… not that long. I’ll just make it quick, keep it short, travel, and then… also, my friend from middle and high school… with that friend from middle and high school, I also decided to go on a trip to Japan together. So I’ll be with my family, and then my family… my family will go back to Korea, and I’ll go straight to another ar- (laughs) another area, and take another really short trip with my friend, and then I’ll probably go back. 🌻 Ah, and my friend had been really worried because he said that finding a job wasn’t going well. He had been like that for a while, and I kept encouraging him, and then he said he got a job. So I was like, “Oh, you got a job?!” and told him, “Congratulations so much!” But he said he got a job at a Japanese company, so starting next year… he said he has to live in Japan starting next year. So I was like, “Ah, in Japan…” (laughs) “So you’re going to live in Japan starting next year.” And then when I thought about it… next year, I’ll pretty much only go abroad when I’m working - only when I’m going for work, and if things go like this, (laughs) there’s a high chance we won’t be able to see each other for a long time. So I just said, “You’re going to live in Japan now, so to celebrate you getting a job in Japan, let’s just go on a short trip to Japan.” 🌻 Ah, but this is that friend I usually talk about. When we actually meet, we go to a PC bang (internet/gaming café). It’s nice to see each other when we meet in the neighborhood, but there’s nothing to do, so we go to a PC bang (laughs), then just briefly stop by a café. That’s the friend I was talking about.

I posted about being in Florida for hurricane cleanup and a bunch of people made fun of me. ‘Now he has to work like a real person.’ ‘Lol he’s washed up!’ Shit like that. Listen. This is my 4th hurricane. I’m never too good to roll my sleeves up and put my money where my mouth is. I’m blue collar, through and through. I got my first job at 9 years old as a couponer for Papa John’s. I made $4.25 an hour. My friends would come over and ask if I could play and my mother would say, ‘he’s at work.’ She told me their eyes would get as big as silver dollars and they’d say, ‘he’s at work!??’ That made me feel so good. At age 10 I worked on a pig farm at a boarding school and shoveled garbage into a garbage truck at age 11. At age 12 I worked at a fruit market. I would get dropped off at 5am and sleep on the floor until they opened at 8ish. Loved every second of it. I have a formal 5th grade education. I went to prison at age 16 for a violent felony. Destined to be a loser. I’ve had no other choice in life but to create my own opportunities due to my poor decisions. I currently live in a 5,000+ square foot home with a pool, arcade, full bar, and a movie theater. I sleep on a $6000 mattress. I did that. 👈🏻 I would much rather be at home instead of working 16+ hours a day just to sleep on a floor for 4-5 hours only to wake up and do it all over again. I’m not better than you. Tonight I have no room and will sleep in a jeep. I own two businesses, collect royalties, and don’t have to be here. I could be home with my kids, chilling. I live for this shit. I’m happy doing this. I’m not a comedian. I’m not a celeb. I’m not cool. I’m not above you. I’m Amiri King, plain and simple. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Lead by example.
