An Open Letter to the World from Coach Jake

Look, I wasn’t handed anything — other than broken homes, childhood medical malfeasance, an alcoholic abusive step-father, and pediatric cancer. I certainly didn’t grow up with all the answers. In fact, I had to question everything I was told out of sheer survival. The world was trying to tell me what was right and wrong, and what I could and couldn’t do, and let me tell you something — none of it sat right with me.

Maybe that sounds familiar. Maybe you’ve had people limiting you too. Maybe you’ve hit that wall where the people around you, the systems you rely on, or the life you’re living just isn’t cutting it anymore.

But here’s the thing: that pain, that doubt, that frustration — that’s where the opportunity lies. That’s where the breakthrough happens. You can either stay stuck, or you can decide to use it as fuel.

Question Everything, Demand More

Fortunately, I was never the guy who just accepted things for the way they were. I wasn’t content with the status quo. I was always asking, “Why not?” And when you ask that question long enough, you start realizing something powerful: there’s no reason why not — you just have to decide to take control of your life, no excuses.

I didn’t follow the crowd. I went out, got a Master’s degree in Financial Engineering, studied the best in business, and put myself through the wringer in the world of combat sports. And guess what? I didn’t just learn, I created.

I created the Macebell and the modern mace fitness movement! I built Scientific Wrestling and the modern sport of competitive catch-as-catch-can. I’ve written a dozen or more books, and I’ve coached and helped thousands — all because I wasn’t willing to settle for less. And if you’re reading this, you shouldn’t be willing to settle for less either.

You Want More, and You Deserve It

Let me ask you this: How long have you been waiting for something to change? How long have you been hoping that if you just work hard enough, things will magically fall into place?

Wake up. That’s not how the game works. If you want more, you have to take more. That’s what I did, and it’s what you can do too.

Your Breakthrough Is Right Here

I didn’t just stumble into success — while some was luck, the vast majority was deliberate. It was strategy. It was persistence. It was having the right information, the right mindset, and the right people around me. And now, this is what I offer to the world.

Why? Because I see it every day — people like you, hustlers like you, pushing and grinding but not breaking through. I am hell-bent on making the world better, not just for my kids, but for everyone.

Our Story

If you’ve ever been frustrated because the people around you aren’t seeing your vision, or you’ve felt like no matter how hard you work, you’re stuck on the same level — that’s where I started too. But let me tell you something — you don’t have to stay there.

I know what it’s like to feel like you’re capable of more. I know what it’s like to know deep down that you’re destined for greatness but just can’t seem to grab it.

“…aaaaand, ACTION!”

If you’re reading this because you’re looking for that next level, that’s where I come in. I am here to play Yoda to your Skywalker. You don’t have to figure this out on your own anymore — whether you’re an athlete, a coach, an entrepreneur, or someone who’s hungry to create real wealth and freedom for themselves and their family.

No1

The truth is, you can stay where you are, spinning your wheels, hoping for a break — or you can make the decision that successful people make every day. “No one, or №1 — it’s up to you.”

This isn’t theory or cheerleading. This is coaching. I’ve built businesses, trained champions, studied the best my whole life, and I’ve helped thousands break free from limitations — and I will help you do the same.
