Growing up, Jessi Kuhlman (@jessikuhlman_) was constantly surrounded by sports. She spent her time either on the ice rink playing ice hockey or on the gymnastics floor working harder than ever. When she realized ice hockey was her true love, she committed to Merrimack College and played at the Division 1 level. 

During her time at Merrimack, Jessi and her brother were looking for places to train for weightlifting. They got a Groupon for a gym nearby and quickly realized that they both loved the sport of CrossFit. 

Fast forward to 2019, when she graduated college and hockey came to an end, she committed to compete at the highest level possible in CrossFit. 

“Now I’m in Florida, living my dream, coaching and training every day. I also get to play GRID in the summers which just means a lot of heavy lifting and running on my hands! God has placed me here on purpose and I love getting to coach and train in my community with BlackSheep CrossFit!”

Why do you love being a Driven athlete?

Jessi tells us that she loves being a Driven athlete because of the supplements and the community. Her favorite product is either Driven Creatine or B&G. She says that these products help her strength and health overall. 

“Driven is a company that wants to do good in the world, not just have the best athletes.”

Best advice for aspiring athletes?

“Focus on what your body can do, not what it looks like! When you can focus on setting goals, you will achieve things that you never thought possible. For example, doing a strict pull up or lifting over 100 pounds!” 

Jessi - thank you so much for being a Driven athlete and inspiring those around you! We can’t wait to continue to see how your fitness journey evolves!
