to try harder and you lose, stop it."

Simple as that. You understand.

No, that fact of...

Yo, the fact of the matter.

- Some of them developed late.

- What happens to the late bloomers?

Thank you, thank you.

What happens to the late bloomers?

- You can't discourage late bloomers.

- The late bloomers.

The ones that take

a little bit more time to do...

Take time to develop, late bloomers.

Name someone who you know

that developed late. Name one person.

- Who is great?

- Yeah.

- Who is great?

- Nobody.

Yeah, man.

Getting his feet ready

to take on the world.

Good condition, Coach Mills.

Go.

It was my first day of training.

Finally I could run

with a little bit of pain. It felt good.

I was like, I'm back on the track,

that's a positive side about this.

So, Coach, what do you think?

One good thing about the run,

he's not as fat as the coach any more.

Hey. So, I'm pretty bored.

Can't sleep. So just decided

to talk to the camera a little bit.

I'm gonna

show you why I'm spinning around.

Alright. Give me a minute.

I'm in my hotel room just going around.

With my coach, he's always saying,

"Usain, you should sleep."

"It's very important for you

to get your rest and stuff."

So I try my best to get my sleep,

especially this year, I've really tried.

What people don't understand with Usain

is that cos he's so recognizable,

everywhere he goes,

he doesn't really do much.

I can go to the shopping mall,

I can go to the cinema,

but Usain's pretty much in-house

a lot of the day.

What else to talk about? I've no idea.

So this is a Jamaican introduction,

introduction. Wallet!

No s... Oh, I almost fall over.

Especially when he's travelling,

he's in his hotel room,

you can go stir crazy,

so often at one in the morning he gets

bored and, like, let me go somewhere,

and I can understand why he just can't

sit in his room all the time.

- # My mind tell me no

- # My mind tell me no

# But my body

# But my body

# Telling me yes

# Telling me yes

- # Baby

- # Baby

- # I don't wanna hurt nobody

- # I don't wanna hurt nobody

# But there is something

that I must confess

# I...

- # I don't see nothing wrong

- # I don't see nothing wrong

# With a little bump and grind...

I love this song, I'm sorry.

I'm just remembering that this is

gonna go out nationally to the world.

I shouldn't be singing.

I'm not a good singer, but...

Just letting you know what my life

is about when I'm bored sometimes.

- # With a little bump and grind

- # Bump and grind

# I don't, I don't see

It's hard to be as hungry as a person

who has never won a championship.

It's hard. No matter how people say,

"I'm very hungry,

I still wanna be a champion,"

it's hard to be as hungry as a guy

who's never won an Olympic champion.

I've been going through this for years.

Started out with my mom and my dad,

I wanted to clear their debts,

buy them things,

and then it was for me, to get nice

stuff, cars, clothes, all this stuff.

Then it was just to secure my future.

But now that I've done most of that stuff,

it makes me just wanna give up,

do you know what I mean?

It worries me, at this point in my career,

now at a big stage, that I still have

issues motivating myself now.

I remember I was sitting at home

and he called me up and he's like,

he's like, "John, I'm over this sh*t,"

and I was like, "Oh, OK."

"You know, I just wanna have

a normal life and relax."

"Now all I can think of is vacationing.

I can't think of anything else."

I know last year

it was the World Championship,

I'm like, it's the World Championship,

I wanna win, but it's not the Olympics,

do you know what I mean?

But then it gets to this season.

It's still like, I'm lazy,

do I really need to do this?

What do I have to prove,

do you know what I mean?

And same thing with Michael Johnson.

I asked him.

He said, "Yo, I've done everything

in the sports, why stay?"

I think you get to a point, as an athlete,

where it becomes

less about competing against others

and more about competing against yourself.

It's a much more lonely pursuit.

I think lonely is...

It goes deeper than that.

I feel like it is, it's gut-wrenching.

You're at a place that no one else is,

and sometimes you just feel like,

you know, no one is in your shoes.

In terms of daily motivation for training,

you've got to motivate yourself

based only on you and what you want

and how bad do you want it.

When the battle is with yourself,

you can't lie to yourself.

When you look in the mirror,

you know all the truth.

Battling with yourself is... is...

That's deep.

I think a lot of times you lose control

when you're at this level

because everyone's pulling you

from one direction, another direction.

I think sometimes

you want your own personal life back.

When you can say, "I'm waking up at this

time, I'm doing this when I wanna do it,

I'm going out here," you know, and I

think sometimes he's had enough of this.

When the time comes for you

to just enjoy yourself sometimes,

even during the season I take a weekend

and just have fun with my friends.

Just to me when we spoke, it did

sound like a guy crying out for help.

You know what I mean?

And he'd do anything he could

to self-sabotage what he was doing,

just to have an out.

10.95.

And I guess the answer he was

expecting to hear from me was,

"Nah, man, you need to get ready

for the Olympic Games."

I was like, "Bruv, quit."

"Will you be happier?"

And he was like... he sort of stalled

a little bit and was like,

"Yeah, yeah. I just wanna relax."

Sometime after Rio,

I'm gonna cut out the track and field.

Just breathe.

I feel like me have asthma.

Everybody knows, even his competitors,

that he's the most talented athlete ever,

so if he doesn't win,

it's not because of his talent.

It's gonna be a failure on my part,

Ricky's part, his family's part,

not to motivate him.

Close up. Close up. Close up.

Certain persons cannot handle a party.

We're trying to hold him back

and we're trying to say,

"Come on, Usain, the Olympics

is getting closer, come on."

"Give it three months, then you can do

all these things the rest of your life."

For me, it would destroy me,

knowing that I'm a part of his team,

I wasn't able to help him

to find that motivation.

Good morning, boss man.

Hey, Ricky.

Got ya.

This is the sleep cam.

Usain Bolt's sleep cam.

He didn't go out last night.

This is how the world's fastest man wakes up.

Not so fast now, huh? Huh?

I know himself, the winner in him,

he wouldn't want to see Rio come on

and he's not there,

so we might have to ask him the question,

"Do you not want to go to Rio?"

And once you put that on the table,

we believe that Usain Bolt will respond.

Earlier this year I've said to you guys

that, yo, I'm having doubts, I'm not...

Not doubts,

I'm not having the same feeling,

like I'm not motivated, but then...

Are you going to win?

- Justin, we need to hear you say...
