 10.84 seconds – the time that Shericka Jackson [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/shericka-jackson/] clocked to win her third consecutive 100m title at the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association (JAAA) Nationals Championships on June 28. Her win also booked her a slot in the Jamaican team for the Paris Olympics. In the absence of Elaine Thompson-Herah [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympics-news-track-and-field-news-injured-elaine-thompson-herah-to-forgo-two-hundredm-crown-at-paris-olympics-after-major-decision/], who isn’t participating this time due to an injury, the 29-year-old will lead the Jamaican camp in the upcoming Games. But do you know who’s the man behind her stellar speed on the track? Jackson will be joined by 19-year-old Tia Clayton and 8x Olympic medalist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/shelly-ann-fraser-pryce/] in 100m events in the upcoming prestigious quadrennial event in Paris. While she embarks on her third Olympic appearance, let’s delve into her life and learn more about the man who helped her achieve greatness lately – her coach, Stephan Francis! ALL ABOUT SHERICKA JACKSON’S COACH, STEPHEN FRANCIS The legendary Jamaican coach Stephen Francis’ resume is filled up with multiple superstar sprinters. Famously known as ‘Franno’, he founded the Maximising Velocity and Power (MVP) Track Club alongside Paul Francis, David Noel, and Bruce James in 1999. In his over two decades of training athletes, god knows how many medals athletes won under his guidance. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/image-1080x1080-9-1.jpg] Francis’ recent successful superstar, Shericka Jackson made her debut in the global sprinting arena under him. Even when she made her international debut for Jamaica at the CARIFTA Games in 2008, the legendary coach was around her. With fierce competition this time around at the Paris Olympics, Shericka Jackson will again seek guidance from the legendary coach. Moreover, it is noteworthy that the 29-year-old isn’t just a successful sprinter that he developed over two decades of his coaching career. NOT JUST JACKSON: STEPHEN FRANCIS’ LEGACY IN SPRINTS In his years-long association with MVP Track Club, he saw Asafa Powell’s dominant run between 2005 and 2008. During this period, she clocked a 100m world record time of 9.77 and 9.74 seconds. Apart from Shericka Jackson, he oversaw Elaine Thompson-Herah and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce winning gold medals at the Olympic games. His illustrious portfolio also includes the likes of Sherone Simpson, Kerron Stewart, Brigitte Foster-Hylton, and Melaine Walker. While Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Elaine Thompson-Herah parted ways with Stephan Francis earlier in 2020, he still has some of the top sprinters in the game. He will put high hopes in Shericka Jackson, who will be leading the charge for Jamaica at the Paris Games. Will another Francis client win an Olympic gold this year? Do let us know what you think about the same in the comments! 

As Shericka Jackson gears up for her third Olympic outing, let's know the man behind her success, her coach Stephan Francis.

<h2>Elaine Thompson-Herah: Net Worth, Career, Family, Husband, Achievements and More</h2>
[caption id="attachment_1013981" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1013981 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1332135654.jpg" alt="Elaine Thompson-Herah" width="1920" height="1280" /> TOKYO, JAPAN - AUGUST 03: Elaine Thompson-Herah of Team Jamaica celebrates with her countries flag after winning the gold medal in the Women's 200m Final on day eleven of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games at Olympic Stadium on August 03, 2021 in Tokyo, Japan. (Photo by David Ramos/Getty Images)[/caption]

Jamaican athlete <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/elaine-thompson-herah/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elaine Thompson-Herah</a> is an Olympic champion. Thompson-Herah is known for her "double-double win" in track and field events in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics—no other female athlete had ever successfully defended the Olympic titles in the 100 and 200 meters! The speedster is an intimidating rival in the 60, 100, and 200-meter events, often drawing parallels to the legendary Usain Bolt.

Hailed as one of the greatest sprinters of all time, Thompson-Herah has won five medals at the Olympics four of them gold in just two visits, leaving her mark on sports history. She became the second-fastest female sprinter in the 200 meters and the fastest woman alive in the 100 meters at Tokyo. Her amazing accomplishments along the way created a lasting impression on the sports world. Elaine's achievement has been greatly supported by her husband, who also stepped up as her coach. Having stacked up a flurry of wins, the Olympic track and field star's career earnings are among the highest earners in athletics.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong> Elaine Thompson-Herah net worth</strong></h2>
Thompson-Herah's more than two decades' worth of dedication to her track and field events came with huge paychecks. Celebrity Net Worth estimates the Jamaican sprinter's net worth at $4 million.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Elaine Thompson’s parents</strong></h2>
Rose Richard and Keith Thompson welcomed the Jamaican Sprint Queen into the world on June 28, 1992. Her father is a barber in his native—Mandeville, Jamaica. Keith was an athlete in school who would win prizes, much to what his daughter is accomplishing on the world stage. Keith once said that he had known his daughter would become a professional sprinter when she was just 11. Elaine also shares a good relationship with her mother Rose and usually posts lovely pictures on her Instagram on Mother's Day.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Elaine Thompson-Herah early life and childhood</strong></h2>
Just seven months after being born, Elaine was given to her grandmother Gloria so that she could raise her. It was her family who tried convincing Thompson-Herah that she was <em>"born to run,"</em> while she wasn't even the best runner in her class. But two years later, she quit the track and field team but her journey only went uphill. After graduating from Christiana High School, she ran for Manchester High School during her time at school. She made her competitive debut in 2009 as a junior athlete but finished fourth at the Jamaican ISSA Grace Kennedy Boys and Girls Championships.

The Jamaican's potential convinced Paul Francis to invite her to enroll in the University of Technology in Jamaica. Under Francis's coaching, she advanced steadily and finished second in the Jamaican Intercollegiate Championships after setting a season-best time of 11.41 seconds at the Gibson Relays. Later, she was found by Stephen Francis, the athletics coach who established the MVP Track Club and went on to change the trajectory of her athletics life.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Elaine Thompson-Herah’s Husband?</strong></h2>
Elaine is married to former athlete and coach, Derron Herah. Before making their relationship official on Instagram on November 2, 2019, the couple maintained a low profile. The sprinter and her husband share posts on Instagram on their wedding anniversary every year.

Derron has had a brief professional career himself from 2001-2008. A seven-year career that ends at age 26 is short in a field where many professionals retire well into their 30s. According to his Instagram bio, Derron is into business ventures such as The Loan and Pawn Shop.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>All about Elaine Thompson-Herah’s track and field career</strong></h2>
Elaine Thompson-Herah's career as an athlete began with a reliable start. Elaine headed to the track determined to compete in the 4 × 100 meters relay at the 2013 Central American and Caribbean Championships in Morelia. She ran to victory as an integral part of the Jamaican team, taking home the gold in 43.58 seconds. The Jamaican's efforts paid off once more in 2014 as she ranked sixth in the national competition and won her first intercollegiate title. She continued to gain momentum leading up to the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow when she won another gold in the preliminary 4 × 100 m relay.

Elaine's road to Olympic glory wasn't an easy one. Stephen Francis, her longtime coach first recognized her talent and challenged her boundaries. His critical comments and demanding training schedule put her to the test. But Elaine might never have achieved the highest level of Olympic glory if it weren't for his unwavering motivation and faith in her abilities.

<span style="color: #ff0000"><span style="color: #000000">At Rio 2016, Elaine Thompson-Herah achieved an important milestone in her sprinting career taking home 100m and 200m golds. Interestingly, the two outstanding victories were the rising Jamaican star's debut in a major international competition. Her record-breaking achievements continued following an injury-plagued 2017–2019. Thompson–Herah defended her 100m title in Tokyo 2020 with a new Olympic record of 10.61. And then went on to defend her 200-meter title in 21.53, setting a new national record and assisting her country's 4x100-meter relay team to gold.</span></span>

With a season-best time of 11.00 seconds in the Zurich Diamond League meeting, the Olympic sprint double-double champion from Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2021 appeared promising as he finished third behind world champion Sha'Carri Richardson. After being sidelined by injury in the 2023 season, Thompson-Herah is back to her peak performance. However, Thompson-Herah temporarily hired former MVP coach Shanikie Osbourne to coach her for the rest of the 2023 track and field season following a challenging start to the season. With a run of 10.54 seconds during the Prefontaine Classic in August 2021, Thompson-Herah broke the national record for Jamaica. She will now begin her Olympic campaign with the same race in Eugene, Oregon on May 25, 2024.

<h3 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc">Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce 2023: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h3>
Olympic sprinting legend Shelly-Ann-Fraser-Pryce was born on December 27, 1986, in Kingston, Jamaica. Even at 34, she has been stunning the world with her blazing speed. Shelly-Ann recently became the world's third-fastest woman in 100m events. Track and field star started her Olympics journey back in 2008 during the Beijing Olympics. Shelly-Ann came from a humble family background, nevertheless, nothing ever stopped her from reaching the top.

[caption id="attachment_748344" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-748344" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-08-26T193129Z_903748170_UP1EH8Q1I8F8L_RTRMADP_3_ATHLETICS-DIAMOND-LAUSANNE.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1302" /> Athletics - Diamond League - Lausanne - Lausanne, Switzerland - August 26, 2021 Jamaica's Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce celebrates winning the women's 100m final REUTERS/Denis Balibouse[/caption]

Currently, Shelly-Ann's net worth is close to $4 million. She has earned the same through various sports endorsements and sponsorships. Shelly-Ann's biggest endorsement deal is with Puma. In the year 2021, Fraser-Pryce signed a deal with HUMBL, a digital money network based in San Diego, California. She also has deals with Digicel, Grace Kennedy, and Nike. Almost a decade ago, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce launched a business by the name "Chic Hair Ja" and also has a hair salon called Lady Shelly in Jamaica.
<h3><b>Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce's early life</b></h3>
Shelly-Ann was born on December 27, 1986, to her parents Orane Fraser and Maxine Simpson. She grew up in the impoverished and violence-laden Waterhouse district of Kingston, Jamaica. Shelly-Ann was brought up by her mother, who was an unlicensed street vendor, and a former athlete, along with two brothers. Shelly-Ann started competing in track and field events at the age of 10 when she was in primary school. When Fraser was 16 years old and in high school at the Wolmer?s High School for Girls, she ran 100 meters in 11.57 seconds.

During her college years, while attending the University of Technology in Kingston, she placed fifth at the national championships and earned a silver medal at the world championships in 2007. Fraser made a sudden breakthrough in 2008, by winning the gold medal at the Beijing Olympics in the 100-meter race. This breakthrough was a surprising one, despite the fact that she was being coached by Stephen Francis, who had guided Jamaica?s Asafa Powell to four men?s 100-meter world records.
<h3 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc">Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce's Athletics Career</h3>
Remarkably, Shelly-Ann was a gifted sprinter from a very young age. She used to run barefoot in her primary school. At 16, she clinched the bronze medal in Inter-Secondary Schools Boys and Girls Championships. In 2006, she joined the University of Technology, Jamaica, and started coaching under Stephen Francis. At 20, she finished in the 5th position in 100m at the Jamaican National Senior Championships.

Shelly-Ann made her international debut on the European athletics circuit. Her moment of spotlight came when she shocked everyone by finishing the second position at the Jamaican Olympic trials for the Beijing Olympics 2008.

And then Shelly-Ann created history at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. She became the first Jamaican woman to win the gold medal in the 100m race at the Olympics. Even after bumps and hurdles post-2008 and before 2012, Shelly-Ann reached the mega-quadrennial games in London.

In Tokyo, she won the silver medal in the 100m race and the gold medal in the 4*100m relay race.

Even after the Olympics, Shelly-Ann's performance went up at the Diamond Leagues meet in 2021. At the Diamond League meet, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-athletics-news-you-are-phenomenal-track-world-reacts-to-shelly-ann-fraser-pryces-insane-achievement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">she entered the sub of 10.6 as he clocked the time of 10.60 seconds</a>. She defeated her fellow Jamaican and rival Elaine Thompson-Herah to become the world's third-fastest woman in the 100m race.

In 2022, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce bagged her fifth World Athletics Championships title after winning the 100m race. She also captured silver medals in the 200 meters and the 4*100-metre relay. Her last major 200m race was at the World Athletics Championships, in 2022. Now, Fraser is concentrating on the 100m for the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics, which will be her fifth Olympics. The track and field legend has hinted that she might be retiring after the 2024 Olympics.

At 20, she finished in the 5th position in 100m at the Jamaican National Senior Championships. Shelly-Ann made her international debut on the European athletics circuit. Her moment of spotlight came when she shocked everyone by finishing the second position at the Jamaican Olympic trials for the Beijing Olympics 2008. And then Shelly-Ann created history at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. She became the first Jamaican woman to win the gold medal in the 100m race at the Olympics. Even after bumps and hurdles post-2008 and before 2012, Shelly-Ann reached the mega-quadrennial games in London.

<p style="color: #252525">The rivalry between Sha'Carri Richardson and Shericka Jackson began as both athletes aimed to excel on the track. However, the two of them never shy away from appreciating each other's talent and are recognized for the mutual respect they share.</p>
<p style="color: #252525">Yet, amidst their camaraderie, one thing remains constant, and that is their unwavering determination to outshine each other every time they step onto the track. A few months ago, Richardson posted an all-time best record for herself at the USATF 100-meter meet after crossing the finish line in 10.71 seconds. The very next day, Jackson broke this record and posted a new time of 10.65 seconds.</p>

<p style="color: #252525">Their rivalry once again was on full display during the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, when Sha'Carri went past Jackson to become the 100-meter world champion. Later in the championships, Jackson defeated Sha'Carri to become the 200-meter world champion with a new world record. But their camaraderie was also seen during the 200-meter semi-finals of the same world championships, when both of them shared a heartwarming hug after Sha'Carri qualified for the finals.</p>
<p style="color: #252525">Even as Jackson clinched the 200-meter world championship, leaving Sha'Carri behind by a substantial margin, Sha'Carri rushed towards Jackson, and the two shared a heartfelt embrace, displaying their sisterhood once again.</p>

Jamaican?Sensation?Shericka?Jackson?s?Track?and?Field?Achievements Shericka Jackson has been making headlines since 2008, when she started to participate in various competitions like the CACAC Junior Championships and the CARIFTA Games. She started her career as a 400-meter runner and later transitioned to shorter divisions, like 100 meters and 200 meters. She also made a significant impact at events like the 2010 Youth Olympics, the 2011 World Youth Championships, where she was placed third, and the 2012 World Junior Championships. In 2015, she made history at the age of 21 when she finished a 400-meter heat in under 51 seconds, followed by another 400-meter finish in under 50 seconds in the same year in June. During the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she secured a bronze medal in 100 meter after a 10.76-second finish, which was also a new personal best for her. She achieved a significant milestone in her career in 2022 when she became the world champion in the 200 meter after clocking an incredible time of 21.45 seconds, which was also the second fastest finish in the women&#8217;s category at that time. In the 100-meter heat, she claimed a silver after a finish of 10.73 seconds. With this, she also became the seventh-fastest woman in the world. In that same year, she secured victory in the 200-meter Diamond League final in Zurich, completing the heat in an impressive 21.82 seconds. Jackson is the reigning world champion in the 200 meters currently and has successfully defended her title with a dominant finish at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest. She bettered her time of 21.45 seconds and crossed the finish line in 21.41 seconds on the Budapest tracks. Jackson is currently ranked number one in the 200-meter women&#8217;s rankings and is the fastest woman alive in the same category and the second fastest overall after America&#8217;s Florence Griffith Joyner. She also managed to secure a silver in the 100-meter category after crossing the finish line in 10.72 seconds at the same event.

However, the two of them never shy away from appreciating each other&#8217;s talent and are recognized for the mutual respect they share. Yet, amidst their camaraderie, one thing remains constant, and that is their unwavering determination to outshine each other every time they step onto the track.
