Summary
“I think silent killer is perfect for me. I put so much energy and effort into this. I’ve really been pursuing greatness, so when I get out there and don't do what I want to do, it’s clear. You can see it on my face that I'm not happy. I try to be grateful and take everything in, but at the same time I always want more and I know what I'm capable of.”
Keturah Orji, 10x U.S. champion and American record holder, joins the show after qualifying for her 3rd Olympic team in triple jump. Keturah breaks down her triple jump performance at the Trials, what she’s learned from triple jumpers who came before her, how she wants to give back to the sport after finishing her career, and more. Hear more from Keturah in this episode of the CITIUS MAG Podcast.
