Brittany Brown, Olympian, professional sprinter for Team USA, Adidas athlete, and VIS Mentor, takes us inside the world of track and field beyond race day. From her first memories on the track in Southern California to competing on the world’s biggest stage, Brittany opens up about the highs and lows of confidence, nerves, and performance. She shares the evolution of her pre-race routine—from journaling and visualization to logging off social media and even smiling at the starting blocks—as tools to protect her energy and stay grounded. Brittany also reflects on moments of doubt early in her career, reminding young athletes that their talent deserves recognition, and that confidence can be built over time with awareness and self-belief. Her story is a powerful reminder that success in sport isn’t just about speed—it’s about mindset, resilience, and finding joy in the journey. “Your talent deserves to be seen. Don’t hide away from it—because the more you show up as yourself, the more it helps others.” – Brittany Brown
