Welcome to another episode of Pristine conversations, our topic of discussion “Athletic Performance and Mental Health - The Challenges”. Jaimaica is famous for producing incredible world class athletes like lighting Usain Bolt and Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce.
In this episode, I am delighted to host another great ambassador of sports, Triple Jump Shanieka Ricketts. In 2019 she won the silver medal at the World Championship in Doha and Diamond League Champion, Shanieka Ricketts. Her personal bests in the event are 14.98 metres outdoors and 14.08 metres indoors. In July 2021, she qualified to represent Jamaica at the 2020 Summer Olympics. Shanieka shares her riveting story, challenges of mental health and how performance and resilience can be achieved with a very solid vitality and consistent healthy lifestyle rituals.
She was encouraged to try the sport by her physical education teacher at primary school. She got involved in high jump and triple jump at high school. "I had unusually long legs and was faster than most guys and girls in my class. I loved it from the start. It's not very popular in Jamaica [triple jump], and when young athletes see me do it I hope to inspire them to try it so we can have more athletes in the sport in future. Jamaican triple jumper Kimberly Williams taught me a lot about the sport, it was kind of fun. That's how I started doing it."
