September Athlete of the Month: Jacob Constas

What our coaches have to say about our athlete of the month:

Perseverance: Jacob Constas demonstrates an unwavering dedication to his goals regardless of the obstacles.  He began training with Coach Sara in 2024 for the NH Special Olympics Powerlifting event. With unwavering focus, hard work, and dedication to the sport, he competed in the NH Special Olympics ‘24 and ‘25 and several USAPL meets over the past 3 years. His goal was to qualify for the National Special Olympics in June of 2026, which he did, coming home with three Silver medals and one Bronze medal. He is now looking towards 2030 Nationals and new PRs! 

Jacob consistently works hard and dedicates himself to making progress. He undoubtedly trusts the coaching process and has the patience it takes to move through plateaus and setbacks. 

“At every Powerlifting meet, Jacob always says to me, “Coach, I don’t care what happens on the platform; I made it here, and that’s all that matters.”  A powerful statement that gets me every time. Jacob’s goals are so much more than the numbers on the platform. His REAL goal is knowing he did the BEST to prepare himself for each meet, and on the platform is his time to shine no matter what the outcome. Jacobs reminds me he has already won. He inspires me and others around him that ANYTHING is possible.  I am so proud to be his coach and see his passion for the sport of Powerlifting. We can all learn from this wonderful young man who has a heart of gold. ”~ Coach Sara Claflin

What Jacob’s Parents have to say about his experience at EverProven

Working with Sara at EverProven has been an incredible experience for Jacob. From day one, she created an environment that challenged him to grow while also building his confidence. Sara’s coaching has helped Jacob develop not only as an athlete, but also as a young man who believes in himself and understands the value of discipline, hard work, and perseverance. We’ve seen him become more focused, resilient, and willing to push beyond his comfort zone, and much of that growth is a direct result of Sara’s guidance and support.

As parents, we are deeply grateful for the positive impact Sara has had on Jacob’s life. Her encouragement, belief in his abilities, and commitment to helping him succeed have meant so much to our family. It is clear that you genuinely care about the people you coach, and that has made all the difference. Thank you for investing in Jacob and helping him build confidence that extends far beyond sports and fitness.
