Track saved Fred Kerley’s life. His brothers are in jail, his father was also incarcerated, and his mother addicted to drugs & the streets. He didn’t see many ways out of that life. Signing his professional contract gave him light at the end of the tunnel. It was a ticket out of Texas, and a chance to give his children more opportunities than he had. Learning where someone comes from helps you understand where they are. fkerley99 ran from the gutter to the finish line. thepivot X Fred Kerley. #ThePivot #FredKerley #TrackandField #Olympics
