We caught up with Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce at the 2013 Hot Trot Jerk 5K Run/Walk in South Florida. She was the Grand Marshall for the Run/Walk. Shelly’s infectious smile and warm personality drew people to her. She signed autographs and playfully interacted with everyone. Here is our conversation with Shelly-Ann.
Q. If you were not doing track & field what would you be doing?
(If I wasn’t doing track what else would I being doing…hmmmm) That is so hard because I have never ever seen my self doing something different. I like working with children and I am very passionate about that, I would be working with children right now. Trying to see how much I can empower them.

Okay,..Alright…this weird but It is the truth, I really don’t have a team.
