Usain Bolt is a world record-holding Olympic athlete from Jamaica. He holds the world record for the 100 meter, 200 meter, and 4×100 meter relay, and he is regarded as the fastest man in the world, for obvious reasons!

BEIJING, CHINA - AUGUST 27: Usain Bolt of Jamaica celebrates after winning gold in the Men's 200 metres final during day six of the 15th IAAF World Athletics Championships Beijing 2015 at Beijing National Stadium on August 27, 2015 in Beijing, China. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images for IAAF)However, things were not always easy for Bolt.  Growing up in Jamaica his family and community were very poor. They would often have to walk very far with pails in hand to gather water for their homes, as there was no running water. When playing cricket – a favorite game of Bolt’s – he would use part of a banana tree and an orange to mimic the bat and ball.

Luckily for Bolt, while he was a teenager he met another local, Pablo McNeil, who just so happened to be a former Olympic sprinting athlete. He and another coach encouraged Bolt to train in track and field at the age of 16 and, as most would say, the rest is history.

This inspiring story speaks to children with a passion for sports, or for just getting outside and playing. In the process of getting outside and staying active, not only are your children living a healthier lifestyle, but they are possibly paving their way as one of the greatest athletes alive!

    With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation?
    My site has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but
    it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement.
    Do you know any techniques to help stop content from being stolen? I’d really appreciate it.

      Try to just put your brand on the media and content so it makes it harder for others to plagiarize. For example, a watermark on your pictures.
