Veronica Campbell-Brown has opened up about what contributed largely to her successful transition from a collegiate athlete to a professional athlete while living in the US.
The three-time Olympic champion relocated to the US to pursue her college studies and in a past interview, Usain Bolt had explained how the NCAA messed up a lot of Jamaican athletes.
However, the case was different with Veronica Campbell-Brown, who managed to successfully transition and continue shining on the global stage until 2021.

10 Best paid Africa national team coaches: Where does Kenya’s Benni McCarthy rank?
Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy has joined the list of highest paid Africa national team coaches but he still does not compare to many others on the continent.
Veronica Campbell-Brown revealed that after her 200m triumph at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, she knew it was time to transition but she continued with her education, unlike other athletes who turn professional and ditch their education.
She revealed that having talent and being dedicated are some of the things that worked perfectly for her since she knew what she needed to do to continue making an impact on the global scene.
“I was blessed, because in my senior year, at the University of Arkansas, I won the 200m in Athens and realised that I could go professional. So, I decided to go pro and stay in school and finish my degree,” Veronica Campbell-Brown said.

FIFA rankings: Harambee Starlets biggest climbers in the world thanks to win over Tunisia
Harambee Starlets have moved up seven places in the latest FIFA rankings thanks to their impressive results against Tunisia in the WAFCON qualifiers.
“Because I tasted victory, it put my mind at ease knowing that in order to stay at the top you have to keep working hard. It’s another level and I just needed to elevate my mentality and work hard. The transition was smooth and I just set right into the pro level in college.”
She revealed that being in university, most athletes never have a choice in selecting where they want to compete but Veronica Campbell-Brown had that choice, thanks to her agent.
The three-time world champion noted that she was never overworked and when the time came for her to transition to a professional, she never felt a lot of pressure to deliver.

Benni McCarthy makes South African-based defender his first Harambee Stars call-up
New Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy has handed a lifeline to the South African-based defender after including him in his squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
Veronica Campbell-Brown admitted that having a team that cared about her well-being greatly contributed to her success.
“I think part of it has to do with the care I received and I was never overworked, I was never overraced and I was able to take that same type of schedule into my professional career,” Veronica Campbell-Brown said.
“My agent never over-scheduled me and I could pick and choose when and where I wanted to race and my coaches worked together to make sure that I was well taken care of.
“Those were some of the things that really helped me have a smooth transition as well. I had a good team that was really there to help me perform at a high level.”
She went on to win world and Olympic titles, dominating the global stage before hanging her spikes in 2021. Veronica Campbell-Brown retired as the only track and field athlete in history to win medals at five successive Olympics.
