“The profession of strength & conditioning demands a deep understanding of the technical knowledge of human performance to be successful. Unfortunately, only learning the technical aspect of performance has left us with only half the skills necessary to become a successful professional. Jesse Wright seeks to change that with this Balance the Bar program. His detailed coursework fills a need in our profession by improving the softer skills needed for true fulfillment and advancement in a hyper-competitive sports performance world. Each young professional that comes through our doors is immersed in this program and the results have been extraordinary.”
“I cannot recommend Jesse enough for anyone looking to elevate their career in the sports industry. He has been my one-on-one coach for some time now, and he has helped me tremendously in my career. Jesse is knowledgeable, dedicated, and compassionate and truly cares about my success. His coaching helped me navigate negotiation and networking via an authentic, compassionate and confident mindset, which is ultra important for me. With his vast network of industry contacts, he's helped me make valuable connections and expand my horizons like never before.”
“Jesse spoke to a cross-section of coaches, health and performance staff, support staff, and administrators. His ability to take his professional experience and relate it to the day-to-day operations of our staff was helpful and led to greater discussion. I particularly enjoyed his ability to speak in depth about the realities and importance of managing 360-degree relationships on a daily basis.”
“This course goes through situations and skills that are great to apply not only in a work setting, but also in life. After completing the course, I feel I better understand people’s behavior. I am fortunate and very thankful to have taken this course. The structure is solid and the questions make you think about the lectures in a way that makes it easier to remember all of the information. An amazing journey, with many examples of real-life situations. All professionals should add this to their toolbox! 10/10 experience!”
“It takes more than the X's and O's to be an effective coach. This mentorship bridges the gap between the technical knowledge and real life high performance environment. With the content and resource of this mentorship, I 100% became a better professional, and I am confident to be a great teammate and leader and have an impactful career.”
“Jesse Wright’s programming is exactly what the modern athlete looks for when spoken to: It’s real, it’s honest, it’s engaging. Jesse has found the sweet spot of a program that both improves the individual’s character and has also techniques to draw a team closer together. He’s world class in what he does.”
“As a clinician who comes in as a consultant for different teams, it can be challenging to earn their trust, especially when teams are hesitant to incorporate new ideas or think outside the box when it comes to nutrition and testing. With Jesse’s guidance, I’ve learned how to build trust with the staff and effectively communicate with team coaches, PT’s, ATC’s, nutritionists, and performance directors. As a result, teams and players have become more open to consulting with me.”
“It is the only coaching program (that I'm aware of), that focuses on ‘the other side’ of coaching. Everyone wants to talk about exercise selection, proper technique, programming, advanced technology methods etc., but nobody will listen to that if you don't actually care about the client/athlete first! Jesse also presents enough evidence-based information that support his ideas. Plus the tips on how to write your CV, mock interview & weekly coaching calls are added bonuses.”
“Not only is Jesse a great strength coach from the technical side, but this course provides invaluable information about the less spoken parts of what it takes to be a great teammate and leader. The information is applicable far beyond the strength and conditioning realm. This course forced me to rethink how I approach and interact with my athletes, coworkers, and colleagues; and provides information I will use and refer back to throughout my entire career. Would recommend this course to anyone wanting to improve themselves personally and professionally at any stage of their career.”
“We talk about character, values, and leadership often in our program. Jesse’s presentation helped to double down on those themes in a big way. It’s clear his message and real-world stories are born out of a wealth of experience at the highest level of basketball. He left a great impression on our guys.”
“The BTB mastercourse was just what I needed to complement my S&C knowledge and experience. The interpersonal skills that I learned under the leadership and mentorship of Jesse was much needed to thrive in my new position. His experience and feedback is unmatched in this industry!”
“Jesse provided an open space for every coach to share personal experiences, questions, and doubts about both past and current challenges. The ‘team atmosphere’ allowed us to help each other with insights and practical advice, guided by Jesse's elite knowledge and support as a mentor. This mentorship gave me the time to reflect on myself as a coach and as a person how I work and handle current situations.”
