Hi, I would like to start by asking for some help.

I am 19 and looking to move to America for the following reasons. I am an athlete that competes at a high standard with aims to reach the 2016 olympics. I feel that America can offer me more in terms of the support and training that i need. The country interests me massively and i would like to think i can use my talents in running and business to do even better.

I currently work for a large private company that deals in selling high end cars. I am an apprentice salesman however I have had experience in highly paid sales jobs since i left college.

I left college with a sports diploma however i am not relying on that to get myself a visa. I have started a business that is currently running, it is small but has huge potential and shows my entrepreneurial skills.

where do i start with employment and a visa?

Thanks

As many people will be along shortly to tell you, the US isn't one of those countries you can just up and move to. Follow this link:

If you see yourself anywhere on there, great, come back and ask some more specific questions. If you don't, then your dream is unlikely to come true.

Best of luck.

I think you could look at some international sports scholarships if you're as good as you say you are.

With a job offer, or a shed load of cash.

But, as mentioned, if you are decent at sport, the college route with a sports scholarship might be doable.

Another vote for the college route.
