Tyler Hickey is a Pilot and Captain on the U.S. Bobsled team. Before Bobsled, Tyler played Division 1 Football, while studying Mathematics and Sports Science at Davidson College in Charlotte, NC. After graduating from college, Tyler chose to pursue his dream of representing the United States in the Olympics, and that dream became closer to a reality when the U.S. Olympic Committee extended Tyler an invitation to try out for Bobsledding. At the end of multiple rounds of tryouts, Tyler was one of four recruits to be selected to the team from a pool of 500+ professional and former collegiate athletes.
In the four years that have passed since his first tryout for the U.S. Bobsled Team, Tyler has gone on to become one of the Top 5 ranked Bobsled Pilots in the country, competed in and won several international competitions, and continues to pursue his dream of competing in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China.
