NEW YORK -- How does the mom of Usain Bolt help the worlds fastest man keep his cool?We say things that will make him laugh, said Jennifer Bolt as her sprinter star offspring faces down what just may be his last Olympics.At nearly 30, Bolt has six Olympic gold medals from the Beijing and London Olympics. Though he withdrew July 1 from Jamaicas national meet with a slight tear in his left hamstring, the world record holder in the 100- and 200-meter dash proved his fitness July 22 in the 200 at the London Anniversary Games and deemed himself good to go for Rio.A few days before the London event, his mom visited New York and said in an interview that she wasnt worried, having long ago learned that calming her own nerves was the best way to soothe Usain.I know hes going to get well and everything will be OK for the games, said the soft-spoken Jennifer, who has been cheering him on since his speed first surfaced around 12 or 13.I tell him just stay focused, remember God, remember to pray and read your Bible, she said.Usain has come back from injuries before, including left hamstring problems. When it happened in 2004 at what was supposed to be his first Olympics, in Athens, he didnt make it past the first round. He was just 17.It was a bit scary because we didnt really understand and know what it was, Jennifer said. He had wanted so much to be at the Olympics and he just couldnt make it.Jennifer and Usains dad, Wellesley, live in the same village along Jamaicas northern coast where they ran a general store during his youth. Theyve been helping him, Jennifer said, not get nervous since 2002, when at age 15 he debuted at the World Junior Championships in Kingston.He won the 200-meter -- and that was the beginning for the 6-foot-5 sprinter, who had never been away from his parents or his modest village of Sherwood Content in Trelawny Parish before he left for Kingston to train professionally.At 12, when he earned a scholarship to attend a high school known for turning out strong athletes, it all clicked for Jennifer. Bolt loved cricket and football growing up but he has said he settled on track because he was good at it.As a child, she said, he could not keep still. Even in the bed, you could see him tossing. When he started high school, thats when we see that hes really competitive.Over the years, Jennifer said, she has realized her best approach is to remain strong when her son falters.I learn to cope with it. I cannot feel down when I have to support him. I just pray and hope that everything will be good, she said. I know that he still depends on his mother.Its just as he did as a teen.I can remember in 2002 for the world championships. At the time he was 15 and before the games he didnt want to go. And he cries, and I had to try to comfort him, encourage him to go out and do his best because he didnt feel that he could have done it, she said. I was really, really, really nervous and, you know, my legs shake. My heart beat.Then she listened to the crowd.The crowd was behind him. From then I dont feel that nervous, she said.The scene plays out a bit in The Boy Who Learned to Fly , a new short animated film produced by Gatorade and based on Usains life. The advice her animated self gives to her jittery teen before the 2002 junior worlds: You can always go fast when you keep it light.Norman Peart, who handles finances for Usain, has been a mentor since he was 15. Peart accompanied him to Kingston when Usain first left home to train. Usain lived with him, and later his wife and kids, for three years.Theres a saying in Jamaica that fits Usain perfectly, said Peart, 13 years his senior.We say, you have to have crocodile skin to handle the pressure, and he does, he said.So how do the two think the ebullient Usains retirement, maybe in the next year or so, will play out? Jennifer thinks hed make a great TV analyst.Hed put a little vibes to the sports, she laughed of her sons reputation for his trademark lightning bolt, his love of flashing huge smiles and his party spirit.Peart thinks the same of Usains future.I can see him as an analyst. And hell do stuff with Puma for years to come for sure, said Peart of one of Usains biggest endorsement deals.But before that: The first thing hell do is take a little break. Hed love some time for himself.---The Boy Who Learned to Fly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6b03jWW70kcSwell Water Bottle Flowers . And when it opened, every player was at his stall.

If ever they start actually putting pictures beside words in the dictionary, the Blue Jays left-handers mug will appear beside “Consistency.BOSTON - New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez had a connection to a homicide victim found in an industrial park near the athletes home, but family and officials were mum on the nature of their relationship, two days after police first visited the upscale division. The body found about a mile from Hernandezs sprawling home in North Attleborough was that of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd, according to a prosecutors office. His cause of death wasnt released. Lloyd was a semi-pro football player for the Boston Bandits and had a connection to Hernandez, whose home was searched by police, his family said Wednesday. Hernandez attorney Michael Fee acknowledged media reports about the state police search of Hernandezs home as part of an investigation but said he and the player wouldnt have any comment on it. "My son is a wonderful child," said, Lloyds mother, Ursula Ward, as she cried outside the family home in Bostons Dorchester neighbourhood. "Hes a family guy. He hasnt done anything to hurt anyone." Ward would not say how Lloyd knew Hernandez and did not say if police told her how her son died. An uncle said Lloyd had a connection to Hernandez but wouldnt elaborate. North Attleborough sits on the Rhode Island state line not far from the Patriots stadium in Foxborough. They referred questions about the investigation to the office of Bristol District Attorney Samuel Sutter. Sutters office said investigators were asking for the publics help to find a silver mirror cover believed to have broken off a car between Boston and North Attleborough. Sports Illustrated, citing an unidentified source, reported Tuesday that Hernandez was not believed to be a suspect in what was being treated then as a possible homicide. Two troopers knocked on the door of Hernandezs house Wednesday morning, but no one answered. The night before, police spent hours there as another group of officers searched the industrial park. Later Wednesday, at least seven state troopers searched both sides of a road just off the street where Hernandez lives. The officers used thin poles to pull back plants and search through undergrowth along the road. Hernandez returned hhome during the early afternoon Wednesday.dddddddddddd He did not speak to a crowd of reporters staked out about 100 feet away. The Patriots drafted Hernandez out of Florida in 2010. Since then, he has combined with Rob Gronkowski to form one of the top tight end duos in the NFL. He missed 10 games last season with an ankle injury and had shoulder surgery in April but is expected to be ready for training camp. Last summer, the Patriots gave him a five-year contract worth $40 million. Patriots spokesman Stacey James said the team did not anticipate commenting publicly during the police investigation. Sports Illustrated reported that the link between Hernandez and the case was a rented Chevrolet Suburban with Rhode Island plates that police had been searching for. The Associated Press could not independently confirm the report. Lloyds neighbour Larry Connors said a black Suburban with Rhode Island license plates was towed out of the yard of Lloyds house after his body was found. Lloyd had been driving it for a few days, but Connors had never seen it before that. Neighbour Paul Sandefur, a retired transit police officer, said he had known Lloyd since he was in diapers and was at a loss to explain what might have led to his death. "Hed tease me about coming over to play basketball because I used to tell all the kids I could beat them," Sandefur said. "He was an exceptional kid. Its just inconceivable that something would happen to him." Both neighbours thought Lloyd worked in construction, and neither knew of any connection between him and Hernandez. Bandits coach Olivier Bustin, who last saw Lloyd on Saturday at a team scrimmage and heard on Tuesday he had been killed, said he never knew him to be in trouble. "He was a personable guy, just a guy who was well-liked by everybody on the team," said the coach, who said Lloyd didnt start but played a big role on defence. Lloyds sister, Olivia Thibou, said her brother always had her back. "And, you know, its just tough that hes not here," she said. "As my mom said, just give us our time to grieve. And I hope that they find out who did it." ' ' '
