Usain Bolt called out the American college system for overworking Jamaican athletes, which in turn hinders their professional careers.
The fastest man alive Usain Bolt has explained why most Jamaican athletes that go through the American collegiate system struggle when they turn professional.
Usain Bolt revealed that once a Jamaican athlete gets a scholarship to go abroad, things change fast for them, since they are not at liberty to make decisions concerning their careers.
The eight-time Olympic champion explained that the athletes end up competing every other weekend and by the time they want to go professional, they have nothing to show on why they should be sponsored.

Victor Wanyama hints at where he wants to play next as he weighs several offers
Victor Wanyama has hinted at where he is likely to play next as he weighs his options from a number of several offers on his table.
The double world record holder added that sprinters are subjected to many different races since one can not only focus on one distance, like the 100m and they have to prove themselves since they have a scholarship.
Usain Bolt added that if he could have gotten a scholarship to the US, his career would have been messed up and noted that he is one of the lucky ones.
“The college system wasn’t good for Jamaicans…the reason Veronica made it out was because a lot of these schools run you hard. I think if you watch a lot of these athletes that went to college, they turned pro and it wasn’t the same,” Usain Bolt said on the Ready Set Go podcast.

Benni McCarthy picks his assistant coach for Harambee Stars job
South African legend Benni McCarthy has reportedly decided on the men who will join his technical bench when he takes over as Harambee Stars coach.
“And what I heard, I don’t know if that’s true is that there are a lot of levels that you have to run every weekend.
“There is a championship here, there is this there, so you run your body so hard then you have to try and go into the championship. That messed up a lot of Jamaicans who went there so I was lucky.”
Three-time Olympic champion Veronica Campbell-Brown is also among the few who went to the US but managed to survive the ruthless college system.

Usain Bolt explained that having signed the deal with Adidas when she was still a student helped her make decisions on the races she wanted to compete in, unlike the others who were solely being managed by their schools.
“Veronica made it out because she got a contract from Adidas while she was in college so she could pick and choose where she was going to compete. When you have a scholarship, you just have to go and run all the time,” Usain Bolt revealed.
To date, several Jamaican athletes continue securing scholarships to the US, including world under-20 champion Alana Reid and Olympians Ackera Nugent and Nikisha Pryce, just to name a few.
However, with Usain Bolt having mentioned the disadvantages of such moves, it is time that the youngsters start rethinking their decisions.
