hello all,

Thank you for taking a moment to read this, it means more than you know.

As many of you know, I’ve been working hard to pursue my next dream of competing and representing Team USA as a bobsled pilot (driver). After attending combines, training events, and working with different coaches, I’ve been invited to continue progressing on the bobsled track. This journey has been unbelievable so far, and I’m determined to give it everything I have.

What most people don’t know is that American bobsled athletes are completely self-funded. Unlike many other Olympic sports, there is no salary or federation support --there are athletes who receive a stipend from USABS, but even the top athletes still need to pay out of pocket . Most athletes rely on sponsorships or the generosity of family, friends, and supporters just to stay in the sport long enough to reach their potential and chase that gold medal.

I’m committed to pursuing this dream fully, but doing so requires financial support so I don’t drain the savings I’ve spent years building. Your help—no matter the amount—goes directly toward training, travel, sliding school fees, strength work, and all the resources needed to compete at the highest level. It is truly an investment in my journey, and I don’t take that lightly.

If you’re unable to donate, a simple share or message of encouragement means the world. And if anyone is interested in discussing a sponsorship—whether that’s social media partnership, branding opportunities, or a personalized agreement—I’d be happy to start that conversation and connect.

Hopefully I will not have to ask for money in this manner to pursue this goal of mine and I am looking into ways that I can make money to support and gain momentum as I continue to chase gold.

Thank you for believing in me, for supporting me, and for being part of this story and family. This is just the beginning, and I can’t wait to see where this journey goes.

all the best,

Jason Koch

Go USA.
