Gabbi Cunningham

 

Hi Gabbi, please tell us a little about yourself?

Hello! I am Gabbi Cunningham Olympic track and field athlete. I was originally born in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Moving away when I was three years old, I grew up most of my life in Charlotte, NC. I am an artsy individual at heart. Singing, dancing, fashion, modeling, make-up, self-care, and shopping are all things that I love outside of being an athlete, of course. I am a big family person as well, so I really enjoy spending time with them.

Who has been the biggest influence on your life?

I think my parents have been the biggest influence on my life. The way they have created and raised a family. The love and respect that they have for one another in their relationship. The drive they have in their professions. All of which are qualities that I admire so much about them and strive to create for myself in life.

Describe yourself in 3 words?

Three words I would use to describe myself are spiritual, creative, and resilient.

What advice have you gotten from other Olympic track athletes? And what advice or tips can you give to other young readers that are looking to follow your steps?

I think I have been very fortunate with the advice I have received from Olympic track athletes. My college coach, Allen Johnson, was an Olympic gold medalist himself back in the 1996 Olympics. I was fortunate to have had him as a mentor throughout my collegiate years and my first few professional years. He taught me the mental focus and perseverance you need to compete at a high level. He also taught me that the separation between you and the next person comes from your ability to master the small details and understand how to do it on your command. That has really stuck with me ever since.

If I could give young readers some advice who want to follow in my footsteps, it would be that your drive to work hard and stay disciplined is key. At times, there may be sacrifices that you must make. It comes with the territory, but it is all worth it in order to accomplish your dreams. Be confident and go after everything you desire. Whether that’s to be an athlete or more, press the limit because it will be so much more
