2019 World Cup in Otepaeae (Normal hill/10km - 46th)
2019
Started ski jumping at age nine as part of the Get Out And Play program through the Youth Sports Alliance in Park City, UT. His father's home in Park City has a spectacular view of the ski jumps used during the Salt Lake City 2002 Olympic Winter Games and every day as a kid he could see the jumps. As soon as he was in the Nordic program, he fell in love with the sport and joined the Park City Nordic Ski Club only a few weeks after first trying ski jumping. (jaredshumate.net)
Goal for season 2021/22: to score World Cup points, qualify for the Olympic Winter Games, finish in the top-20 there and be the highest ranked athlete from the USA. (Athlete, Sep 2021)
Career goal: to be on the World Cup podium, earn a team medal at World Championships or Olympic Games, be a top-10 World Cup athlete. (Athlete, Sep 2021)
First Continental Cup podium in Lahti in February 2021. "That was my best result and my first time on an international podium." (Athlete, Sep 2021)
Not any specific role models. "I want to be better than the people I have looked up to." (Athlete, Sep 2021)
His first coaches Blake Hughes, Logan Oxford, Chris Francis had the biggest influence on his sports career. "Without them, I may not have loved ski jumping so much." (Athlete, Sep 2021)
"I have a theory that if I sleep bad the night before an event, I usually perform better. Some of my best results have happened after a terrible night of sleep, so I don't get too angry if I have trouble sleeping." (Athlete, Sep 2021)
"Always focus 100% during training. Focus on technique both on the ski jumping hill and on the cross country course.
Make sure to eat nutritious and healthy foods to maintain overall health. Stretch! Be supportive of the rest of the team." (jaredshumate.net)
