The transition to life in America was not without its hurdles, as Asghari faced the daunting task of learning a new language and adapting to a vastly different social landscape. He initially struggled with his weight and identity, but found solace and discipline in American sports. By joining his high school’s football team, he began a physical and mental transformation that would eventually become the bedrock of his career. This period of his life was marked by intense "behind-the-scenes" work, where he transitioned from being a self-described "husky" teenager to a formidable athlete. He eventually played football at Moorpark College, but when his dreams of a professional sports career didn't materialize, he didn't falter; instead, he pivoted toward the world of fitness and nutrition, losing nearly 100 pounds and discovering a new calling.
