Much lower than the other US track gold folks like Noah and Gabby.
Jakob and Keely are at 500k
Who cares about Instagram followers. He’s got million dollar pay checks coming his way regardless.

He needs to run like Cole Hocker, and do interviews like a hybrid of Noah Lyles & Eric MF Holt!

It is for the people that want to get paid to endorse things. It isn't a popular enough sport to get paid purely for your talent.
Have you noticed running "influencers" make more money than most world class runners.
It's a shame.
Maybe he's happy enough with the money and set-up that he has.
Gets to live the way that he likes without having to be a shill for whatever's trendy this week.

Why should that be a goal?

What he needs to do is duck Jakob just like Kerr and then go on a podcast spree, calling out Jakob for losing. Then duck him some more.
More shirtless posts…

The people who pay him probably care about his Instagram followers.

It is, if he wants to make money.
did it cross your mind that maybe he doesn't care?

so he can fit into your cookie cutter image of what a runner should look like?

OP didn't ask "How much does Cole Hocker's follower count need to increase to be better at running?". Try again.
He needs to flaunt his anti-vax stance more.
He needs to shhh the home crowd after winning the Olympic trials (they were cheering for you moron)
He needs to look even more like a waddling duck when he approaches the finish line.
He needs to look even more like this huy:
Not sure it’s doable for him. As good an athlete as he is, he has absolutely no ‘aura’ and looks like an alien.

Win a gold medal!
seriously . Loose the man bun , get some conditioner and some sun. But why does he need more followers?

You know as well as I do it would 100% work.
And in hindsight I should've totally billed for this.

The man doesn’t have an ounce of charm. I’m not sure there is much he can do to fix that at this point. It’s not his fault, some people just aren’t charming or don’t have anything interesting to say.
Anyone who finds Hocker boring or uninteresting has clearly never watched the SOVA Running channel on youtube with him and Teare. Yes, Hocker is the understated and quieter one of the two, but his humor is very dry and he is almost always dropping great one-liners.
I guess if you’re looking for loud-mouthed trash talk and narcissism Hocker isn’t your guy, but he’s hilarious
He looks like he needs a wash. Cut the hair it’s gross. But regardless of being unattractive which works against gaining a following, he also seems boring af. Man is bland.

He needs to go with one of those Billy Mills flat tops.

So he can endorse the shoes. How much money does he need?
