Jesse James West

So I feel like that really ingrained in my head from a young age, just being relentless and like That's just who I am. And it's like, I can't not be that way.

You know, it was very... It's very difficult to comprehend as a kid. Looking back, it all makes sense. And I'm like, I have no regrets on my relationship with my dad, my relationship with coaches and sports. But playing lacrosse, I was fortunately very good at it right away. And I feel like whenever I was good at something...

Definitely, my family was like, we got to push him the most we possibly can. And specifically, my mom pushed me a lot, but my dad definitely pushed me a lot. It was like, you see those dads on documentary shows about a football player or something. Classic sports dad. Classic sports dad that's just like, my son's going to be the best. He's going to be the greatest.

He's going to work harder than everybody. And it was very much that. But I did enjoy it. I loved lacrosse. So I didn't see it as a problem. So it was sort of like... He's inducing that sort of relentless vibe to my life and practice. And then my love for the sport also coming together. It worked very well from a young age. So I saw no problem with it. My mom saw no problem with it.

It met well and the synergy was there of his ideation and my love for the sport. And then as time went on and I got older, I discovered the gym. I really fell in love with bodybuilding. I saw, I watched people like Christian Guzman on YouTube, an OG YouTuber in the fitness world. And I was like, you know, I love lacrosse. I wanna play pro right now.

Or in the future, I wanna play pro and I have the aspirations to be the best in the country. But part of me, like my inner soul isn't being fulfilled. And as you get older, I feel like you discover that more and more. And as I approached 15, 16, 17, I realized like, maybe lacrosse isn't going to be my end goal. Maybe there's something more for me, like fitness or doing YouTube.

Like I really didn't have that desire from a young age. Let me add this. I made YouTube videos since I was 12. You look up Spartan Strings online right now. And I am on the internet. I'm like, hi, I'm Jesse James. I'm like little boy on the internet. But I had aspirations outside of lacrosse that just kept getting bigger and bigger. And the problem was that

My dad, his aspiration was to push me in lacrosse and push me to my absolute limits, waking up early for workouts, chugging mass gainer shakes. You got to gain weight. You got to get bigger. You got to be stronger than everybody else. Out there in the rain, the snow, the hail, throwing the ball to me. Where was home for you? Home was New Jersey.
