A Little More About Andre

Getting into the Sport: Started running track seriously at age 17 after coach Tony Sharpe saw his potential to be great in the sport at a high school meet where he raced in borrowed spikes and baggy basketball shorts… Stuck with it as he saw positive results and earned a scholarship… Outside Interests: Earned a degree in Sociology at the University of Southern California… Launched the Andre De Grasse Family Foundation in 2018 to empower youth through sport and education… Odds and Ends: Role model is coach Tony Sharpe who helped him earn a university scholarship and turned around his life in a positive way… Favourite motto: “Never let your successes go to your head. Never let your failures go to your heart”…
