Jesse has worked with all three of my children over the past 10 years. All three of them have been to the (WIAA) state tournament every year of high school. All three of them have beautiful technique. All three of them consider Jesse the best coach and mentor. The lessons learned in tennis have given them a solid foundation and passion for the game, and these lessons have also transferred to their life journey. We are forever grateful for Jesse and his family.

My experience learning under Jesse has formed me into the tennis player, athlete, and individual I am today. Jesse has not only taught me tennis technique that I will use the rest of my life, but also the importance of finding my “why” as a tennis player. Knowing the core of why I play tennis has allowed me to foster a greater love and gratitude for the sport which has overall improved my tennis performance.
