DeeDee Trotter

Relay running is a team effort, and you can only hope that everyone runs their best. Indeed, DeeDee Trotter ran and gave her best every time, and she’s the best model for consistency when it comes to running the relay. Trotter was considered one of the most consistent relay runners in American history, and she won multiple gold medals at different stages. She won gold not just at the World Championships but also in the Olympics.

DeeDee’s dominant run as one of the best relay runners ever eventually had to end. Since her retirement, the former athlete has mostly been busy with her role as an ambassador for Education First. She has also found a passion for motivational speaking as she’s often giving inspiring talks around the world. We’d certainly have to give DeeDee a ton of credit for using her voice and her success as an inspiration and sharing it with the people who need it most.
