==Early life==
Tia Ra'shone Brooks was born August 2, 1990 in Saginaw, Michigan to parents Cyd D. Neal and David Brooks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Sooner Sports )〕〔(Tia Brooks ). London2012. Retrieved on 2013-03-17.〕 At East Kentwood High School, she primarily ran sprint events before her coach, John Makinen convinced her that she was better suited for throwing events.〔 Initially, she fought the change and threatened to quit track and field. "I didn't really want to throw the shot put," she explained. "I didn't want to be the stereotypical thrower ... the big girl who didn't run and wasn't athletic." After a heart-to-heart talk with her mother, Brooks relinquished.〔 During high school, she was a four-time all-state honoree and a two-time regional champion. In her final year, she won the 2008 state title with a 14.65m (48' 0½"). 〔 She finished second in both the discus and shot put at the Midwest Meet of Champions.〔
Brooks is attending University of Oklahoma. During her first year, she lost feeling in her legs while lifting weights and had to be carried out on a spine board. She was diagnosed with degenerative disc disorder, two bulging discs, and a narrowing of the spine.〔 Her doctor advised her to give up the shot put, but Brooks pressed on. After a year of rehab and strength training, she returned to the sport in 2010.〔 She is scheduled to graduate from Oklahoma in 2013.〔
