After two years of not hitting her peak form since her history-making 2022 season, Tobi Amusan is now reportedly training with Jamaican coach Glen Mills.
Nigeria's hurdling queen Tobi Amusan has reportedly been spotted training with legendary Jamaican coach Glen Mills with hopes of reviving her career.
According to speculations in Jamaica, the sprint hurdler is taking instructions from coach Mills. However, there isn't an affirmation yet on whether she has permanently moved under his guidance or she's just in Jamaica for a training camp.
Also, as of writing this, there is no release yet from the parties involved to ascertain the true situation, on the alleged coaching switch.
If reports are true, it will be a surprise to many as this means Amusan will probably move on from her long-term coach Lacena Golding-Clarke who has been with her since 2016 - her college days at the University of Texas El Paso (UTEP) to her history-making moment at the 2022 World Championships in Oregon, where she won the world title and broke the World Record (twice) with a legal 12.12s in the semifinals and a wind-aided 12.06s in the final.

Unfortunately, since her iconic feats, the 27-year-old has faced several challenges, highlighted by having a missing test doping case battle with the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) and the World Athletics.
Despite finally being cleared by the Court of Arbitration of Sports (CAS) as not-guilty, Amusan has struggled to reach her peak form. First, not medalling at the 2023 World Championships in Budapest, and the big dagger of not qualifying for the final at the Paris Olympic Games - the first time since 2016 (Rio Olympics) she failed to make a global championship final.

The three-time Diamond League champion has been tipped as one of the top athletes to make major comebacks next season, but with the alleged development, only time will tell if it ends up being for the best.

From Shericka Jackson to Tobi Amusan: 5 track athletes needing audacious comebacks in 2025 season
With the 2025 season around the corner, Shericka Jackson, Tobi Amusan, and these athletes will be aiming to have audacious comebacks that will put them back in the conversation among the world's best athletes.
Nevertheless, Glen Mills is a world-renowned coach who has discovered and nurtured several iconic sprinters to record-breaking times and world-dominating performances, most notable names - Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake (currently the Top 2 fastest men in history).
)
So taking instructions or training with him can spur her to more greatness as she is just getting to the peak of her career and still has more to offer in the sport.
Hopefully, it doesn't come at the cost of her body adjusting or modifying to new physical methods after years of streamlined tutelage under coach Lacena Golding-Clarke.
