The Core Values of Conqueror Weightlifting are Effort, Attitude, Trust and Respect.
Each month, we recognize one of our athletes who excels in consistently demonstrating these Core Values. Our October 2023 Athlete of Month is Jacob Vandenack.
Jacob is a high school senior who competes as a thrower on the Track and Field team at Mount Michael Benedictine School. He came to us with a goal to get stronger for improved performance in his sport. Through hard work and tremendous dedication, he has significantly improved his overall strength while establishing himself as a leader and positive role model in our program.
Jacob is the type of young man that is a pleasure for any coach to work with. Most notably, he never misses a training session and always comes with an excellent attitude. He gives you his absolute best on a daily basis and is committed to continuous improvement.
Another area in which Jacob excels involves attention to detail. He pays careful attention to follow every detail of the program in addition to doing the right things outside of training to ensure optimal results. Ultimately, Jacob is the type of individual you can trust for a job well-done.
In addition to his athletic pursuits, Jacob is also highly involved in extra-curricular school activities. He is a member of the school’s band and successful robotics team that both involve a significant time commitment outside of school. Jacob does a masterful job of balancing his time between his various activities and never seems to be stressed out. He is a young man who has learned how to work through the demands of life quite effectively.
After high school, Jacob’s goal is to pursue a college degree in engineering along with competing as a collegiate thrower in Track and Field. There is no doubt he will succeed in whatever challenge he takes on down the road.
