Learn about the incredible life of Usain Bolt, the record-breaking athlete whose charisma and drive has won him fans across the world. Growing up in a rural town in Jamaica, Usain was a standout cricketer and sprinter from a young age. His school coach noticed his talent, and by age fourteen he was wowing fans with his lightning speed on the track. Due to a medical condition named scolosis, it took Usain time to develop a training routine that worked for him, but by listening to his body and working with professionals, he learnt his strengths and played to them. In 2008 he took the world by storm at the Beijing Olympics when he broke numerous records. Usain's story teaches us that any dream is achievable if you put your mind to it and believe in yourself.
