How a love for sport and fitness turned this athlete into an Internet sensation.
CALLIE BUNDY IS THE QUINTESSENTIAL ALL-AMERICAN GIRL. BLONDE AND ATHLETIC, SHE HAS EXCELLED AT SPORTS AND EVERYTHING ELSE FITNESS RELATED, INCLUDING A STINT AS A COMPETITIVE BIKINI ATHLETE, FIRST AS AN NPC COMPETITOR AND THEN AS AN IFBB PRO.
However, it is her sporting prowess that has transformed her into the internet sensation she is today. After videos went viral of Callie throwing footballs into basketball hoops and buckets and hitting other seemingly impossible targets, she has used her growing notoriety to build a successful career as a sport and fitness industry influencer. As her website states, she likes throwing things, and it seems millions of people like watching her do it.
WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING?
I have a degree in business marketing and I have quite a varied background, but due to my viral videos and social media success I’m now an industry influencer, thanks to the help of my agency Viral Nation.
YOUR INTERESTS OUTSIDE OF THE GYM?
I said it best in my third-grade journal and the same still pretty much holds true: “I like sports, eating and sleeping”. Although, you can now add travel, skiing and my English Lab Moxie to the list.
