I cannot recommend Jesse enough for anyone looking to elevate their career in the sports industry. Jesse 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. If you're looking for a skilled guide to help you succeed in your professional journey in sports, I highly recommend Jesse!

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.

The group meetings were awesome! The content discussed directly applied to my position, and gave me acute information to apply immediately! If I could have taken this course while I was an intern it would have definitely prepped me for my current GA role!  Also, The Intent is to Grow was very well written and helped me settle into my GA role during a time I was pretty stressed about the transition.

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!

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.

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.

I think soft skills is a very important skill set to have and is not discussed enough. A lot of people may have technical skills and knowledge, but the ones who can pair that with soft skills, and being a great teammate will ultimately be the difference maker in a professional setting. I would strongly recommend this course.

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. 

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 and we’re thankful we brought him in to speak.

I loved being challenged to articulate specific examples that relate to the course material. It demanded a different level of thinking and reflection.

This course was a great group of like-minded professionals in the field of sports performance that I hold in the highest regard. Jesse has made a great course, and I enjoyed utilizing the content in real world experiences to improve as a clinician!

I loved the real-life scenarios and how the soft skill concepts were used in a coaching and nutrition setting respectively.
