He thanked for that pressure she used to make him practice football, all that love she had in her heart in the moments of sport injures and losses and all that faith in his gift she had when he had just started his career way.
His birth name is Roland Bailey Jr, but nobody remembers it now. It was his mom, who gave him the nickname “Champ” when he had just turned 2. Since then he was sure, one day he would win a championship.
Now Elaine remains one of the most important ladies in his life. She is retired and lives in a big house her son has bought for her. Previously, she worked as a funeral home attendant.
Roland Bailey Sr. (father)
Although Champ’s parents separated, when he was a teenager, he is thankful to his father, too. Even though his parents separated, Ronald Sr. remains his dad. He is an easy-going person, who could spend the last dollar for his children. Now he is married to a woman, named Lawanda. Nevertheless, he maintains good relationships with his ex-wife Elaine. They were school love birds and they are the parents of four great kids.
Probably, Champ inherited his athletic skills from his father. He attended Charlton County High School and was one of the best sprinters there. But he didn’t become a champion, like his son. He was an army worker for many years, that’s why their family moved a lot. Finally, they settled in Folkston, GA.
