Despite an unspectacular high school career, Smith was able to achieve success as a collegiate and professional athlete. His coach Joey Haines once said, "Miles thinks he's the best in the world. He thinks he can do anything."[3]
In 2013, Smith began coaching sprinters at Southeast Missouri State University.[4]
