About The Founder & Host
Hi, I’m Jordan LaGasse. I’m a 16yr old student-athlete, an aspiring sports journalist, and the host of Run It Back with J.
I created this podcast to go beyond the scoreboard and stats and share the real stories behind the game.
I compete in varsity basketball and track at my high school and also play AAU basketball. Being an athlete gives me firsthand experience with the discipline, pressure, and mindset it takes to perform at a high level, and it helps me connect with the people I interview because I understand what the grind really looks like on and off the court.
Through thoughtful interviews and honest conversations, I highlight the lessons, growth, and experiences that shape athletes beyond the box score. Run It Back with Jay is built by an athlete, for athletes, and it’s meant to be a space where preparation, perseverance, and purpose matter just as much as performance
Mission
My goal is to give athletes a platform to share their stories, thoughts, and perspectives, while shining a light on the mindset, discipline, and resilience behind the sport
Vision
I want this podcast to become a trusted space where athletes at every level feel seen, heard, and represented, and where authenticity, growth, and impact matter more than headlines and hype.
