Jake's Story
I was introduced to e-sports in 2006 by some good friends and I began playing Halo competitively. When I found out that you could compete in video games and make money I was instantly hooked. Having a passion with gaming and being a big competitor, I wanted to become a top professional Halo Player. During my days of playing and competing, I did not live a healthy lifestyle. I hardly worked out, ate poorly, and had issues with insomnia. This lead to an increase in my anxiety and eventual depression that I developed due to my unhealthy lifestyle and other factors going on in my life. One night when binging on Netflix, I had a panic attack so intense that I knew it was time to make a change. I began doing counseling sessions with my doctor, got back into the gym, and started to make positive behavior changes like quitting chewing tobacco. It wasn't easy but my mental and physical health began to improve. Instead of continuing to pursue my dream of becoming a professional gamer, I found a passion for exercise and healthy living. I changed my college major to exercise science and focused my efforts on becoming a health and fitness professional. Now I have graduated with my degree in exercise science and I developed this website to combine my two great passions - exercise and gaming. I want to help other people improve their lives and reach their goals. Its my dream to make a living doing it. Whatever your goals may be, no matter what level of fitness your at, I can help you make real changes that will positively impact both your gaming performance, career, and overall quality of life.
