Add to that the sponsorships funding his pole vaulting season and a growing online personal training business, and Spotswood anticipates earning around $11,000 a month.
"I just went home to my parents and was like, 'Where can I do pole vaulting?'"
Spotswood first fell in love with pole vaulting in seventh grade and has since embarked on a 12-year career in the sport.
Olympic hopefulAfter graduating from Virginia Tech, Spotswood decided to focus exclusively on professional pole vaulting and hopes to qualify for the Olympic trials in June.
Looking aheadAfter 12 years of pole vaulting, 2024 is likely Spotswood's last dance.
