Sponsor Kris Kornegay-Gober

Why you should sponsor me for your next influencer campaign?

 My name is Kristopher Kornegay-Gober and I am a Professional Track & Field athlete. I am originally from Washington, DC and I take so much pride in representing my city. I am also a proud graduate from North Carolina State University (December '13). It’s honor to be one of the best High Jumpers in the US and in the 100 in the World! With my main goal being to earn a spot on the US Olympic and World Championship teams in the next few years, I am actively doing everything it takes to reach my goals. Every year I seem to make a breakthrough that helps me increase and mature my abilities. Having such a passion for Track & Field and excellent work ethic have been the driving force behind my past success and I continue to use these factors to go even higher and succeed. Not just in my sport, but in life as well. I SIMPLY WANT TO BE ONE OF THE GREATEST HIGH JUMPERS OF ALL-TIME! Everyone has their own unique story about why they should receive support and sponsorship, but my story is simply this. I am a guy who didn't come from a strong financial family backing who needs assistance reaching my goals so that I can improve myself, my family, and those around me. Unlike the pro athletes that make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, most Olympic sports are independent/non-team based sports in which the athletes don’t earn earn that kind of income. The expenses of training and competitions, such as travel, facility usage, training materials and medical support, are all significant in cost. Currently, I rely on part-time job and donations from generous friends and family who are to help fund the majority of my track career. My mother taught me that an important aspect of my Olympic journey is giving back to my community as well! I am now an assistant coach at my high school, McKinley Technology High School in Washington, DC. I've shared my success with my communities through speaking engagements, which are primarily to motivate the youth athletes to follow their dreams and to strive for higher education.I give back what I can to all those who have given to me and helped mold me into the man and athlete that I am today!
