“She can flush a toilet now, no more gleaner paper” 😢😢 wow I felt that!
It sank in!!!!
I had to pause and let out the tears! Oh gosh man.
Yep. Felt that
Massa😢
God is in control
I was moved by this interview especially when he said his mom can now flush a toilet🥹. It’s also nice to hear how well he speaks about his father👌🏾. Yohan, you are born for greatness. You are such a humble soul and I pray God continue to uphold you with his hand of righteousness 🙏🏾. Big thank you for all that you’ve done for Jamaica and for representing us so well. We love and appreciate you❤️🫶🏾🇯🇲.
I wonder if he knows his image is still on billboards in Europe. I live in Hungary and see them almost every day… makes me smile every time🙏🏽❤️
Wow
He really is Speaking of Jamaica and he is really surprised at how Jamaicans reacted to him not winning everytime.
That is so amazing!!! Go Yohan 👏
He is an introvert, and that’s okay. Only you could this interview Sym. What a humble young man. ❤
The prayer room in the house .... just wow. The level of faith is inspirational
We see persons and we’ll never truly know their story until we hear them speak…Blessings Yohan…Keep believing God, He’ll do it for you🙏🏽🙏🏽
Sim, thank you for inviting Yohan. His love for the Lord, humility, gentle nature, kindness to others, and intense drive to do his very best in the most challenging of circumstances can never be refuted. Well done Yohan Blake, son of Jamaica, and most importantly, child of God. You have reminded us that the prize is not the medal but it is the One who died on the cross to save us all🙏🏽.
Continue to shine Yohan. There are more with you than against you. This was a beautiful episode… I always knew you were exceptional…
“She can flush a toilet now, no more gleaner paper” FELT 😢
Yohan remember that you are not here to please Jamaican people. You are here to please yourself. Always love and respect how you present yourself and what you put down on the track. Keep on aiming to the top. Good luck in Paris .
So true, look how they treat Asafa I love all our athletes through thick and thin
Dat is it
He here to please God. That's what matters❤
I am from Ghana. Strange he just came in mind today and I decided to search him up on CZcams and this interview came up. I am glad I did. Sending him all the love and peace. It was nice listening to him.
It’s sad that such a beautiful country as Jamaica could produce such ugly hearted people. You have earned your stripes Yohan and you have made so many of us proud. God bless you and I pray that all your wishes will come true. Thanks Sim.
Say it again, dem nuh understand what these athletes goes through, God bless them all
Ms. Lois, you have made a statement that is so manifestly true, it is absolutely mind boggling!! Bless up yuhself🇯🇲❤️😂👍
True talk Yohan, most Jamaicans are followers and not leaders. When you're up, they cheer you, when you're down they abandon or jeer you. Sad mentality. The wagonist mentality is real
Yep
This💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Facts!
Yohan it's already done my son, all that you asked God for He is sending it your way pretty soon. Stay focus on God He is always on time, i am very proud of you one love ❤
Amen
Amen Praise be to God
When you've been burnt so many times by ppl it's natural for you to go into self preservation mode. We continue to pray for you Yohan that God will heal you of all the hurt so that you can love and love deeply.
Before I even hear the story this young man I always loved. Something special about Yolan Blake
It's okay to be boring. More people need to be like that. Many don't understand the value of solitude and being at peace. If I could, I would just stay home too. I have always wished that I could.
I congratulate yohan on making it to the Olympics! He has already won! He is an inspiration for me!!!!
May God continue to heal his broken heart and Bless him immensely and blow his mind in this season and beyond 🙏❤️
Out of all the sessions, this is the number one on the list. The Lord shall bless you with your wife speedly. In the four days he did it for me, I believed he shall bring it to your door in Jesus. Father, I pray you release this young man's wife and give him strength, wisdom, and understanding. May his marriage and love be of you and not what he wants. Let your will be done in his life in Jesus now, Amen.
In the mighty name of Jesus
Amen
Well Yohan, you can find love but you will have to go out and socialize. Wish you all the best, with God in the vessel you can smile at the storm.
Amen
Congratulations to you Mr Blake I always admire you how u run your race: u are so much a strong runner you put your all in your race and this is loyalty to Jamaica 🇯🇲 I kno it wasn’t easy ? U shared your love with people who needed help and that’s the love of God in you, I hope you find a good and loving wife? God will provide one , 🙏
He is his own psychologist, wow!!!
Simplicity, this is powerful.
Your sister Daniela’s words were profound!!!
All I can say is WOW, what a session. This is the beginning of his emotional healing. Thanks for all you do Simone. ❤
Jamaicans are very hard to please. Yohan, you have done Jamaica proud. You have competed several times against the world greatest athletes, winning many times. You competing with the world best athletes, united Jamaicans many times, just to watch the races. I appreciate your hard work. Many critics don't know the emotional challenges these athletes are going through and have to focus on that track. I don't like how the Jamaican government doesn't highlight these athletes . They just highlight some.
You'll know when you find that person to be your wife. You'll feel it!
This interview had me crying.It was just heartfelt
Depression is like a bullet and it's more evident in this time of our life. There's a lot we have to battle with but God is our help and will always be.
Yohan is just a gentle and humble person. I was shocked when I met him years ago that he had no airs about him. He was almost shy. Praying that you will continue to reach the goals you have set. Thank you ❤❤
Yohan God will supply all your needs according to his riches in Glory. Keep praying my son.
Yohan, pleasing God is more important than pleasing man.
There are many ppl that love you and appreciate you. Do not let a few naysayers steal your joy or cause you to believe that Jamaicans are not for you.
Sometimes we are so disappointed with ourselves that we have a hard time believing that everyone must be disappointed as well.
Learn to forgive yourself for not living up to what Jamaicans wanted you to be and then you will learn to forgive all the negative things they might have said against you. Only God knows the plans he has for you and no man can change those plans.
Keep putting God first and be more concern with how he sees you and feels about you.
Everything will fall in place.
The truth is you are the 2nd fastest man and that is apart of history and cannot be removed.
Go on and live your best life and let God take care of the rest.
I wish, really wish more of us held ourselves accountable for the words that come out of our mouths. I wish we would practice more empathy… words - positive and/or negative - are powerful. Let’s use ours to help and heal - not hurt. I pray Yohan that you’ll know that there are some of us who never spoke badly about you; that realized early the injury was worse than your team was letting on; that prayed for you comeback. Much love man
Yohon Blake, you are amazing We are proud of you. We love you and we thank you for all that you’ve done for Jamaica may God richly bless you cover you and keep you and your family in peace love and harmony. Thank you for all you’ve done for our country.
There are some of us that really love Yohan Blake and will never forget his achievements. I for one know what he went through and also know that it takes someone with your strength to continue running after that career ending injury..... we are out here and we lift you up always ❤❤❤
Yohan, that was a conversation from the soul ..may God grant you what you need and NEVER forget the advice your father gave you. Also, being boring at home is good ... that's your peace ... wishing you all the best in Paris ... I will be continuing the long time support from my home in St Lucia
Yohan, the yeasayer or way more than the naysayers. We just don’t scream as loud. We are proud of you my love, and we are sorry for not speaking over the voices of the haters and the naysayers. But we are here my youth!
We see people but we never know their stories. We always read the book cover ( the title), but fail to turn the pages and read the full story. I love the prayer-room. Keep on praying, trusting and keep your faith high. Wonderful interview.
This was a really good one!!! My gosh... it's sad that he doesn't realize how much he's loved!! His fan base far surpasses Jamaica!! And we are all rooting for him!! And covering him with prayer ahead of these Olympics!! 🩷🙏
You are such a humble person. Keep doing and never be defeated by words from negative people. Keep doing you
If I Could see him to give him a hug 😭😭😭😭😭. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am crying people see you judging you and they would not even know 💯❤🙏👍
I believe he has a lot more healing to do before he opens up his space for a woman. A healed woman who has grown into herself will not see the need to climb all those walls then prove herself worthy.
As a mother, being married for close to thirt years. No rush young man. Continue to pray and God will send you the right spouse.
Thanks Yohan for all you have done. Continue to run your race your reward will be great. The Lord is watching over you. Blessings always.
So many things to unpack! This was one of the most beautiful interview! Ever!
I agree with. God show up.
This man is an inspiration
Yohan, you have always been my favourite star in track and field. You are greatly admired by the uk diaspora. This interview has been so inspiring. Visit the war room every day, and see what God will do throughout the rest of your life.
I pray that the peace of God will rest upon you. I pray that God will dispatch angels to surround you and protect you. God bless you, son. ❤
I have always loved this young man. My admiration and respect have never wavered in spite of the ups and down.Continue to blaze the trail of excellence.Big up Yohan, Blessings.
Yohan, the best is yet to come.
Much blessings
God continued blessings Yohan. May you never lack.\
To God be all the glory @Yohan Blake. Thank you for all that you've done for Jamaica.❤
Beautiful memory of Rohan travelling from Jamaica to be at his friend's graduation at York University in Canada. He was so humble and kind to folks who came up to him on campus for his autograph. All the very best on your journey to Paris...life continues. It will be well!
Thanks for sharing. This is so inspiring. Never knew Yohan’s story. I have gained even more respect for this young man. Wishing him all the best in the future. ❤
Simone I am in my office and listening to your show makes me so calm. I sometimes listen in my bed at night and the peace it gives me to listen to some of your interviews. Very life changing. I love your show so much.
Yohan, You are a brilliant young man. Block out the nay-syers. You are an Icon and a very humble person. You are one of my favorite athlete. You dont need approvel from anyone but God. Your fans love you when you win and when you lose. Keep the faith. ❤❤❤
God works in mysterious ways and wonders to perform mighty God
Yohan, looking forward to see you blazing on the track once again this year. You've made us proud although you've gone through so much in young life. Take the best care of yourself. God blessings be on you.❤🌻🌹👍🙏
The struggles are real youth but don't give up. I believe in you and so are many more. Don't lose hope, put God at the front always. Big up yourself.
"Every time I feel a doubt, I doubt that doubt. Those doubts are afraid of me." (Yohan Blake) This is powerful. Inspirational. Thanks for sharing your story Yohan. God bless you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The humility, faith, confidence, fearlessness to be SELF... different, the determination, the self-awareness, the purpose- driven nature, the HUMANITY, the SINCERITY
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am so grateful for these interviews that help me to learn more about and be inspired by these SPECTACULAR human beings that I see mostly see TV.
Mighty God. Blessings on you Yohan Blake
We applaud you brother for your fervent faith in God. You have done remarkably well in your athletic journey so far and God has much more to unleash upon you. Be strong and be bless...
Big up Yohan Blake! Track and field legend 🇯🇲
When him say flush the toilet no more newspapers I know how him feel God bless you sir
From Champs st Jago days I admire Yohan. Paris 2024 Gold
Am so happy you could do that for your mom..
Beautiful interview. Yohan, so true, people only ride with you when you are on top. Same thing they did to Elaine. True and genuine people should be there for you during low and high times. Proud that you rise above your circumstances. Where you come from does not define you. Continue to strive!
Wow wow wow wow...this one really hit me
I didn't know he was going through so much .
Sim thanks for providing this platform
So persons can feel comfortable to share their life experiences.
But I want Yohan to continue to be strong and the Lord will soon find a virtuous woman for him .
Nuff blessing.
i’m right there with yohann. you lose your parent and the world changes. forever.
I skip over this interview many times, but this morning minutes to 8am, I decided to to listen . There are many things that Yohan said that moved me, many times God had to change things to show us how great he is to us. Thank you for this wonderful interview God bless this you man. Please can many more people watch this interview. Sim thank you thank you a thousand thank you. God bless the program to continue in many more years, I pray God strength first this young man. I pray Gods for you Sim- much love thank you my lady. One love ❤️ Sim
I love this young man. He is so humble. I wish him all the best. God has you son
I admire his humility. He is so honest about himself--flaws and all.
The easiest thing to do is to criticize a person,but those of us who criticize others are we able to do what they do? and are we able to do better than what they do ? It is sad to hear what this young man as been through, so sad to hear but thank God he found a friend in the Lord.Thank the Lord you have gathered strength from your pain.All he has to do is pray and ask the Lord to bless him with a wife.And when that person come if you are not sure ask the Lord to confirm.You really can't trust no one,even more so now.
Always love this young man
Big up my name sake.. Blake.. continue Blaking..❤

He, prior to this interview came across as a sad or depressed guy. BUT, he has reasons to, he has a story and I'm glad he's speaking out and he's risen against the odds. He seems to be a solid young man and I'm glad he's aiming for even more. He has done Jamaica and the world a great deal. One Yohan, forever!!!
Thank you for sharing a small part of your story. It was inspiring and I pray all the best for you in Paris 2024! I’m rooting for you!
