After college, Jaggers initially played football at Mount St. Joseph University in Cincinnati before transferring to Eastern Kentucky University, playing three years for the Colonels. He finished his career at EKU as the starting center and was one of the strongest players on the team.

It was at EKU where Jaggers became a fan of “Game of Arms,” a reality-television show that explored the world of arm-wrestling. The show inspired Jaggers, and he wanted to one day compete with those he was watching on television.

“It’s been such an exciting adventure,” Jaggers says. “More people are getting into it. When I first got into arm-wrestling, it wasn’t so big. Back in the day, when you saw an arm-wrestling tournament, it was word of mouth. Now everyone gets messages on Facebook and whatever else. It’s evolved. You’ve seen a transition in the popularity with the sport.”

Jaggers is currently working with coach Mike West, a multiple time World Arm-Wrestling Federation champion, and trains in West’s gym that is dedicated to arm-wrestling while competing with others who are interested in the sport. Jaggers said some of the workouts he does might look a bit strange, but all are done with a purpose of improving his strength and technique.

“In arm wrestling there is a lot of technique, there is a lot of strength, a lot of certain hand movements and forearm workouts,” he says. “Some of the workouts look silly at the gym. They look at me like what is this guy doing. It’s nice to lift with other arm wrestlers so I’m not the only one at the gym looking insane doing weird movements.”

Jaggers is a bit of a rarity in arm-wrestling, as he competes in tournaments both right-handed and left-handed. Naturally ambidextrous, Jaggers thinks of his left hand as being the stronger of the two, with his right being more coordinated. More tournaments are geared towards right-handed competition, but he enjoys competing with both. His goal is to be ranked in the top five nationally with each hand.

“A lot of people are dedicated to right,” Jaggers says. “The left hand is like the red headed stepchild. No one arm wrestles left. There’s no money in it. Some major tournaments will have right and left contests, but not all. You just get so many more competitors right-handed. It’s uncommon to compete in both.”

The internet has become a tool Jaggers uses to his advantage when preparing for arm-wrestling tournaments. He will often scout opponents beforehand, finding past matches on YouTube and studying their tendencies. It’s a luxury that was not afforded to previous generations of arm-wrestlers. Watching film during his football career has helped him study tape better as an armwrestler.

“I’ve really studied film on people I go against over and over again just to see what they do or what they struggle with,” Jaggers says. “It’s like watching film for football or anything else, you must study to understand what they’re going to do. Same concept, you have a gameplan so you can be prepared and do your homework. My football career helped train my mind to pay attention to what is important and not studying the wrong things. Over time you learn what to look for. YouTube is a great weapon because I can type in someone’s name and find a video to see how they arm wrestle.”

Jaggers said when he talks about his arm-wrestling career, people have mixed reactions-- but it’s done great things for him personally.

“Some people think it’s so cool,” he says. “Some people laugh and ask if it’s serious. It goes both ways. Some people want to hear all about it, some think it’s the dumbest thing they’ve ever heard. I’ve heard it all. Some people really enjoy it and find it interesting and want to become part of it. I’ll talk to people and then they show up regularly and they get bit by the bug. It’s a healthy environment and I have good people in my circle. Something to focus on and stay out of trouble. We hold each other accountable if someone is sliding, we talk to each other and get them back in. It’s been an exciting journey. I’ve met some incredible people I never would have met.”
