Make a change, choose greatness.
Make One Change Today
From overweight kid to my first knockout in Thailand — the journey wasn’t easy, but it was worth every rep, every round, and every moment.
Hi, hey, hello, it’s me again! Whether you’re reading this from the couch, the gym, or somewhere in between… you need to understand the truth I live by:
You are always one choice away from changing your life.
The moments in the pictures? They’re not just good memories. They’re evidence. Proof of years spent showing up, falling short, learning, adapting — and choosing not to quit.
I wasn’t born
“El Jaguar.”
I built him.
I used to be a heavier kid surrounded by people who thought it was natural and it was all genetic. I remember feeling lost, unsure of my potential, invisible in a way, and just upset with who I was becoming. I didn’t love what I saw in the mirror — but somewhere deep down, believed I could be more.
That was the first seed of greatness.
I didn’t have it all figured out and really, I still don’t. What I have is a willingness to try, to listen, to make adjustments, and to keep coming back even when things are hard. I’m thankful for all of my coaches, every training session, the partners, the books, the reps — they reshaped not just my body but my mindset. Somewhere along the line I flipped the switch & fell in love with this process. I learned how to smile, grow & build confidence.
Growth Mindset The Game Changer
Growth mindsets changed everything for me.
They’re the belief that your effort matters more than your current ability. You can keep growing.
Mistakes? They’re feedback.
Failure? It’s fuel.
Quitting? That’s not an option, it’s not who I am.
That shift took me from skipping workouts & finding excuses to chasing down opponents in the ring.
It’s also the mindset that built JagFit — and it’s built into every plan, program, and post I create.
If you’re willing to show up, stay coachable, and commit — even imperfectly — you’re already on the path.
Start Small
Drink more water
Go for a walk.
Prep one healthy meal.
Write down a goal.
Ask yourself:
What’s one thing I’ve been putting off?
What if today is the day you move toward it?
You don’t need perfect conditions. You don’t need permission.
You just need to decide that you’re worth the effort.
Choose Greatness — Not Perfection
Greatness doesn’t look like highlight reels.
It looks like messy beginnings, late nights, and early mornings. It’s built in silence — in the small choices you make when no one’s watching.
I’m still learning. Still growing.
But I’ve built something real — and so can you.
This journey isn’t just for fighters or athletes. It’s for anyone who’s ready to rise, to stop waiting, to build the next version of themselves.
STAND OUT. COMMIT. GET JAGFIT. 🐆🔥
Not just words — it’s a blueprint.
Choose one thing today and commit to it. The next version of you is waiting on the other side of effort.
Let’s make it happen together.
