Noah Lyles, in an interview with Cam Newton, revealed that he would rather have his kids pursue careers in fashion or music, rather than track and field.

The reigning Olympic 100m champion noted that track and field does not pay, unless one is a top sprinter like himself and the fastest man alive, Usain Bolt.

The triple world champion added that his children would have to pursue other sports, including tennis and basketball, and if push comes to shove, then they would have to try track and field.

“I’d allow them to take up music and fashion…ain’t enough money in track and field. You've got to be the very best, you’ve got to be at the very top to make a good living,” Noah Lyles revealed.

“Junelle and I talk about this all the time. We ain't pushing our kids to track. They gotta beg us…you’re going to go right into tennis, golf, baseball, you’re gonna take on those sports first, and then soccer, take on those first, and then come back and say you want to run track.”

While both Noah Lyles and Junelle Bromfield have built their legacies on the track, their vision for the future is clear, they want a different path for their children.

Despite having signed endorsement deals courtesy of track and field, Noah Lyles believes his children will have to take different paths, admitting that his journey to the top has not been a walk in the park.

As they prepare to start their next chapter together, Noah Lyles and Junelle Bromfield are determined to give their children the freedom to chase dreams beyond the finish line.
