Carl Lewis
I'm not a coach and I know it. I'm too busy and it doesn't pay. I'm expensive. But I would always advise.
Carl Lewis
I enjoy my life, I love track, I'm set for life financially.
Carl Lewis
To this day, most people think of me as the fastest human. They don't really think me as a long jumper, although that's the event I had more success in.
Carl Lewis
