Athlete Testimonials
“I will always be thankful for having Jesse in my corner during my time as a collegiate athlete. He understands sports are just as much mental as they are physical! I have always struggled with being harsh on myself mentally, so having someone that could provide me with a new perspective was pivotal and key to my successful growth as an athlete. Jesse introduced the book called “Mindset” to our team. The main concept I remember from this book was the growth mindset, and he would continue to promote this throughout our practices. He was always encouraging us to try new things and to not get discouraged when something wasn’t working for us. Jesse’s easy going, kind personality made me comfortable sharing my thoughts when he could see I was struggling. Jesse would also practice what he promoted as he had a great passion for learning new things. I believe this quality makes for a great mindset coach as they can understand what you are going through.”

“Working together, Jesse has helped me to find ways to grow through unexpected opportunities in volleyball and in life more generally. His coaching style is unlike anything I’ve experienced before. Every interaction is significant and he continuously provides me new perspectives for overcoming a variety of mental challenges familiar to many athletes. Jesse has consistently been thoughtful, relatable and reliable. Through most of my life, self-doubt and a lack of confidence constantly hung over me. Jesse continues to work with me to overcome these obstacles. He encourages me, as an athlete, to utilize many new skills. I pursue challenges outside my comfort zone while simultaneously finding new comfort in life as well as on the court. Incorporating mindfulness and daily positive self-talk, I feel as though I understand myself as an athlete and as a person better than ever before. I trust Jesse to guide me and I’m always amazed by his commitment and effort to help others who need inspiration and direction.”

“During my season with Jesse, I gained more confidence in a single season than I have before and ever since. He created a very open and safe environment for our team where everyone felt free to make mistakes and try new things without being shut down. I learned so much about trusting myself and trusting the process during my time with Jesse which has continued to help me as a college athlete. I have always struggled with confidence and feeling like I am not doing well enough for my teammates, during my season with Jesse this feeling pretty much disappeared. Now being a college athlete, I can surely say that I would not be the confident, dynamic player I am today without being a part of his team. Anyone who gets the chance to be a part of Jesse’s team and learn from him and everything he has to offer should consider themselves lucky.”

“After coming out of my junior year of high school season, I was feeling very discouraged as a player. On the first day of practice, Jesse made it clear that mental health was important to him as a coach. Playing on that team with Jesse as my coach was really what I needed to get back into the right mindset for finishing out my high school career as a player. Mental health is not talked enough about in sports and I am grateful that Jesse made an impact on both me and my team’s mental health.”
