TESTIMONIALS

Jesse is very knowledgable about shooting and all of the technique/mechanics that goes into improving your shot. He not only teaches you the fundamental skills but is also always incorporating new challenge drills and other fun exercises that keep you engaged and wanting to get better. One of my favorite things with Jesse is doing mini competitions or other games throughout the lesson. He keeps it fun and engaging during the lesson.

Jesse is a very smart and interactive coach. He sees things that others may not and is very creative with what he brings on and off the ice. He brings a level of fun within his coaching style. His drills are innovative and have helped me grow in all aspects of my game. Jesse is the best and I would not be the player I am without him.

 

– Emily Zumwinkle- (University of Minnesota Defenseman)

 

For me Jesse always makes shooting lessons super fun and I’m always excited to go when he’s there. From his funny conversations to unique and creative drills, I always know I’m know going to get a lot out of the lessons. He’s able to pick up and critique me on fine tune details when I’m shooting and each time I notice immediate positive changes.
