Personal History
My name is Jakob Haney & I am 17 years old. Until 2 years ago, when I decided to focus all my time & energy to motocross, I wrestled consistently since 5 years old.
The work ethic, confidence & mental toughness learned in wrestling has helped me to progress quickly at motocross racing.
Motocross has since become a lifestyle for my family. If I am racing within a couple hours from home I can count on mom, dad, both sisters & grandparents will be there to watch me compete. My younger cousins are also getting into racing which makes it that much more fun. We have a toy hauler so we are able to make a weekend of it & my family spends more time together now than ever.
Riding Goals
My immediate goal is to stay healthy the remainder of the 2014 season & make a strong showing at Mini Os. I plan to travel south as much as possible thru the winter to train as I have in the last 3 years. Next year the goals are finish regional races in a qualifying position for Loretta’s, and top 5 at least one of the 4 nationals that we plan to attend. I am confident these goals are obtainable as long as I continue to work.
Competitive Highlights
I believe my competitive highlights are yet to come. Since starting racing I have shown the ability to win. With another year of experience I will be consistent enough to be competitive on a higher level of racing.
