DARK SIDE OF MONEY

Elaine Thompson Herah (ETH) Management, discontinued relationship with Coach Shanikie Osbourne. Could this be the Dark side of Money? Supposedly, Shanikie was asking for either $JAM-100K, $US-100K, $JAM-1M, or $US-1M. Those amounts are too far apart. Which dollars is it? Indication is that negotiations were done via Texting. This kind of negotiation should have been done Face-to-Face to prevent any mis-communication or mis – interpretation. Money is the root of all evil. The light is shining bright on envy, jealousy, and greed. Probably on both sides. $US-100K should be affordable for desired results.

Fans are asking all involved especially Elaine Thompson Herah (ETH), not to be Penny – wise and Pound-foolish. Slow down and reconsider before signing a deal with Elite Track Club. Give Shanikie Osbourne a chance to confirm her true intentions. This is an important matter for Elaine Thompson Herah (ETH). Fans have not heard much from her. Might help if she scheduled a Press Conference. She is the one doing the Training, Dieting, and Running. It might help if she step forward and tell us what she thinks.

ETH Management should re-consider. Do not deprive the Fans of a Triple Double experience. Seventy percent of sprinting is mental. The right coach will provide that mental edge. Shanikie Osbourne salvaged ETH 2023 season. Fans look forward to a quick and successful resolution. ETH is the one doing the Training, Dieting, and Running. The 2024 Season has not yet started. Therefore, Fans would like to hear her perspective on the facts. ETH is the one with a Triple Double on the Line and THE RIGHT COACHING CHEMISTRY IS REQUIRED.

Oil and water does not mix. Money and Coaching does not mix. A coach should request a fair price to work with an Athlete and not tie his or her income with that of the Athlete’s Contract. The Athlete’s contract should have nothing to do with the coach. Besides, how would a coach become privy to that information unless said coach was snooping or the information was shared. Such action begs the question, are you interested in the Athlete or her money.

The same question can be directed to Management of the Athlete. Are you interested in the Athlete or her money? Fans believe that negotiations with Shanike were incomplete and Shanike should have been asked to base her price on her 2023 earnings and add any increase because of the task. If Shanike refuse to negotiate accordingly then ETH will be justified to dismiss her. Fans would like to be sure that management is not trying to coach ETH again after the failure in 2022. There is that Looming thought. You cannot Train alone.

Track and Field Season 2024 is the year of the presumptive Triple Double in Women 100m and 200m at the Olympics. Avid Track Fans believe 2024 is the only year in History for that spectacular occurrence. One exceptional Athlete is two thirds there. Fans would like to have the experience.

Fans are happy that Elaine Thompson Herah (ETH) through belief and resilience is looking good and prepared for the 2024 season. She will have a 2024 season equivalent to 2021. However, distraction could have a negative impact and the Elite Track Club environment is not perfect for the Star.

Expectations are that she will join the 200m chase to break the world record of 21.34 seconds. With some effort, ETH can break the 100m world record of 10.49 seconds. Her performance should produce a time of 10.47 seconds. Track Fans cannot imagine Shacari Richardson or Shericka Jackson running the 100m event faster than 10.65 seconds. Quite candidly, Fans do not believe Shacari or Shericka will be a Factor in the Women 100m in Paris 2024.

Fans are expecting performances in the Women 200m event to be better than the Elaine Thompson Herah line of 21.53 seconds. Athletes, whose 200m performance is slower than 22.00 seconds, should consider participating in another event. Fans are anticipating the winning time in Paris to be 21.24 seconds. These two Stars – Shericka Jackson and Elaine Thompson Herah are planning to assault the current 200m record of 21.34 seconds.

Elaine Thompson Herah (ETH) is returning to Track shape. The Queen of Women Sprinting is moving forward with her preparation for Paris 2024. MVP Track Club is not a need or of value in the way forward for Elaine Thompson Herah. Elaine Thompson Herah will be fine. In 2024, she will realize that she has an opportunity to accomplish something that has never been done and no chance of being repeated. She will have a chance to complete a Triple Double in the 100m and 200m at the Olympics. She will have an opportunity to add some granite to her already cemented Track and Field career. Her Legacy, despite a Sub-Par 2023 season is etched in the annals of Olympic History.
