Why you should sponsor me for your next influencer campaign?

 My name is Nathan Whaley, I am 15 years old and I am part of the Junior British Bouldering team. Bouldering is a form of climbing that involves high intensity climbing at a low velocity; while the problems are hard, they tend to involve working out how to get to the top. In the last three years I have been on the podium at every national Bouldering competition with five 1st, two 2nd and two 3rd places. This year I became British champion for the 2nd time in my age group and won all three national competitions. My next target was to make an international final which I managed at the European cup in Poland this year. I now have the target of making an international podium. I was also chosen to go to the World Youth Championships in China in November, where I qualified for the semi-finals in 5th place. Yet I ran out of time on a volume wrestling problem while going to the last hold, resulting in a disappointing 17th place. I will also be old enough to compete at the Adult British Bouldering Championship next summer for the first time and aim to make the Semi-final (top 20). My target after that in the next few years will be the final and then the podium, and then British adult champion. I have been part of the British team for two years now and competed at three internationals. Though climbing has been added to the Olympics I am aware that the likelihood of me making it there in 2020 is minimal; therefore, I am preparing myself for the 2024 games. I will also only be 22 years old in 2024 so I will hopefully be at my peak. My hope is that climbing is such a success, that the 2024 Olympics adds individual as well as all round medals (like Gymnastics). I would love to be sponsored as it would boost my confidence and allow me to get to new heights within my sport.
