Olympic gold medalist DeeDee Trotter has enough energy to warm up a room. Even a chilly gymnasium in Tokyo's Setagaya Ward.

The lively American track great was on top of her game earlier this week, as she gave a vibrant presentation to students at Funabashi Kibou Junior High School.

Trotter, who is working with EF Education First as EF Tokyo 2020 Olympic Project Ambassador, spoke to over 200 seventh, eighth and ninth graders and recounted some of her own trials as a way to motivate them in their own lives.
