DO YOU GET PAID?


We do have the opportunity to earn stipends from the USOC, however, those stipends, if an athlete gets them, can be cut off at any time (like they were after the last Olympics).  Income from bobsled is dependent on our ability to find sponsors, which at the moment is very difficult in this struggling economy.
So most USA athletes are not living the high life- ballin' with diamonds swinging from their necks- but we continue to compete (and even train harder than other athletes who do get paid) because we love our sports. Times are tough even for elite level athletes, so for me- that means many long days in hopes of continuing to compete for my country. GO USA!
DONATIONS MADE THROUGH THE USBA ARE A 100% TAX WRITE OFF
