The Journey of Jess…
Hello!
My name is Jessica Beard and as Maya Angelou would say, I am a phenomenal woman. I am a woman of faith, a gifted runner, and an inspirational being (so I’ve been told).
Born in Cleveland, Ohio but moved to Euclid, Ohio my 9th grade year of high school (which is also when I began running track). This is where the manifestation of my gift and work ethic took place. My love for basketball led me to track and field. My competitiveness and eagerness to be “the best” led me to great success in Athletics on the high school, collegiate, and professional levels. My goal, has always been to win gold at my specialty event, the 400m, and that is how One Lap 4 Gold, Inc was created (with the help of Andreas Behm).
I am a Euclid Panther.
I am a Texas A&M Aggie.
I was an adidas sponsored athlete for 10 years.
2021 Marks my 10th year as a professional athlete and my goal is to make my first Olympic Team. I pray that you are inspired to accomplish your own personal fitness goals and aspirations through my story and my Tummy Tuesday 30 Day Ab Program.
Cheers to a lifestyle change and commitment towards a better YOU.
