Vashti Cunningham was determined to win gold at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. She was 18, competing in the high jump, and eager to live up to the expectations of her last name, which is synonymous with athletic achievement. Her father and coach, Randall, is an NFL legend known for revolutionizing the quarterback position.
Vashti took a deep breath, closed her eyes, then tried to focus on one thing: a 4-pound, white bar the only thing that stood between her and a shot at earning a medal. But she didn t clear the bar, resulting in a 13th-place finish. Vashti left wanting to quit the sport, and as her teammate embraced her, she broke into tears.
