“MY MENTAL TOUGHNESS HAS IMPROVED DRASTICALLY!”

Jacob is an assistant athletic coordinator and the head volleyball coach living just north of Austin, TX. He’s been training in his garage for about two years. When his CrossFit gym changed philosophies and increased their memberships he decided to get out and convert his garage into a gym for him and his wife.

He has a great setup in just two years that would rival most garage gyms and could even conduct classes. They typically train in the early mornings to make it a priority and have it done before work.

Jacob tries to be a role model for the kids he coaches and his own kids. He recently had back surgery so staying active and training properly is very important to him, his career and his way of life. After his surgery when he was healed he doubled down in training (smart) and straightening up his diet to lose the weight he gained while injured.
