I was noticeably the quickest in the Academy and having speed really helps you in football, as long as you have a good touch, can pass and tackle, get stuck in and give it some heart. Speed is much harder to teach so it was always something the coaches utilised in my game.

More quotes by Adam Gemili

Dreams change and you have to be realistic. It’s just crazy how life can completely change but I’m so happy I found myself in another sport.

In football, you can sometimes get away with an off-day but now there’s nobody else to put the work in if you don’t.

I was a defender, centre-back or right-back, and always played as the last man because nobody was going to get past me.

I've always been close and I know I believe, if I can get myself in shape, I can run with the best.

I basically quit the sport, I didn't have any interest, I didn't enjoy getting up for training.
