King Of The Lifts

Jonathan Garcia: Troubled Teen to Olympic Hopeful to Unlikely Hero


Listen Later

Jonathan Garcia joins KOTL to share a heart touching story that will put a new perspective to the 66 kg American Champion. Growing up with his father in prison, he was the man of the house as a troubled teenager chasing an Olympic dream while also working jobs to help pay the bills.
With his Olympic path in sight, the mother of Jonathan’s daughter left them and forced Jonathan to take on full responsibility at 21 years old.
Jonathan sacrificed his dream to raise his daughter with no outside support.
Now, at 33, Jonathan is on the verge of an unlikely second wind as an athlete that has him on the cusp of a heavily hyped showdown at the IPF World Championships.
Also discussed is his time as an athlete at the US Olympic Training Center (meeting Michael Phelps).
Hosted by 6 Pack Lapadat & Arian Messy Khamesi.
