Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce walks away from coach to chase her final dream
After a successful four-year partnership, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce parts ways with her coach amid injury struggles and tension.
Reflecting on her spiritual journey in a past interview, Fraser-Pryce opened up about how, despite achieving her wildest dreams in track and field, she found herself unfulfilled.
"Getting everything you want doesn’t make you happy. I have been a Christian since I was 12. I had just started high school," she explained as per Premier Women Alive .
"Then in the second or third form, I went off track because I wanted to be with my friends and be a part of the crowd – it didn’t fit in with being a Christian. But in 2008 I went to the Olympics and won. Everything I had asked God for and prayed about I got. I had the money, I had everything I really wanted, but I wasn’t happy."
Despite her global success on the track, Fraser-Pryce found herself longing for something more meaningful.
After winning her second Olympic title in 2009, she realized that she needed to reconnect with her faith.
"I knew something was missing and I decided it was time to go back to church and start living for Christ," she said.

'He doesn't stand a chance' - Justin Gatlin weighs in on much anticipated 2025 showdown between Tyreek Hill & Noah Lyles
Justin Gatlin has weighed in on the 2025 sprint showdown set to take place between Noah Lyles and Tyreek Hill after months of playful teasing between each other over who is faster.
Since then, Fraser-Pryce has been unapologetic about her faith, often sharing how it plays a vital role in her daily life. Whether she’s at a major competition or during quieter moments at home or training, she emphasizes the importance of staying grounded in her relationship with God.
"It’s vital to keep connected to God. I carry my Daily Bread and Bible everywhere I go and on my phone I’ve signed up for a reminder to read it," she shared.
Fraser-Pryce’s faith isn’t just confined to personal reflection—it’s a part of her community and her giving spirit.
"The reason he has blessed me to compete and have this money means I can help in many ways. When I am able to give to a charity or a foundation, or go back into my community and help a school or help a student pay their school fees, I feel more blessed than when I am going onto a podium and collecting a gold medal," she explained.
