Jesse James West

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.

And it was around the, we're in the boondocks in the fricking woods. He's tossing the ball. It's pouring, it's snowing. Doesn't matter what the weather is. And we're getting the reps in because like, I do have this love. So I don't see it as a too much of a problem, but then there's just a little bit too much force from him to do it where it almost kind of pushed that love away from the sport.

And I was like, I just want to, I just want to bodybuild. I want to lift. I want to do these things. And you know, it, it developed into what it is today. So I'm like super grateful of every aspect of where my life went and, But it kind of, we had our struggles and stuff of our relationship because of the love of the sport dying and his push becoming more. So it was like a pendulum.

When I was 15 years old, I committed to Lehigh University, which is like a very prestigious academic university. And I committed when I was 15. They were like, you're going to be on a 90% scholarship in four years from now.
