Who is the GOAT? Comparing Elaine Thompson-Herah, Florence Griffith-Joyner, and Fraser-Pryce
Elaine Thompson-Herah, Florence Griffith-Joyner, and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce have done well in their careers, such as having multiple records and medals at the Olympics or World Championships level, which now makes them frontiers on the GOAT list.
"This past weekend, we all gathered to celebrate a “Decade of Difference” at @sfppocketrocketfoundation. To look back at over a decade of impact and service, I can’t help but be overwhelmed with joy.
)
For all of my life, there have been so many people who have poured into me so that I could become the woman and athlete I am today. And for that, I am beyond grateful.
From that gratitude, I founded the Pocket Rocket Foundation on the basis of making a REAL impact in communities where we live and work. To give student-athletes the same chance I had to dream and to plant seeds today for their tomorrow.
)
When I look at the recipients year after year, I see me. I see where they come from and I see who they are going to become. Seventy-three students are just the tip of the iceberg, and I want to be able to touch as many lives as possible.
Focused on striking the balance between sports and education for a well-rounded life, we help students see that:
)
- they can choose something different,
- that they are equipped to be leaders,
- and that they are destined for more.
From beginning to end you have been there, pouring into our foundation’s work and into the individual homes of students within our program. It is your generosity that helps us fuel the futures of student-athletes so they can soar to new heights. It is because of YOUR time and effort that we have been able to touch countless families across our island.
)
And so I thank you… Thank you for being there and for committing to stand by us as we charge toward the future. Hand in hand, step by step, child by child," she wrote.
Fraser-Pryce will make her last Olympic appearance in Paris next year and will be gunning to make it a memorable one.
