More About Coach Jesse

I have been coaching softball for about 7 years and have been playing for about 20 years. Currently, I am the Assistant Varsity Softball Coach at the Noble and Greenough School in Dedham, MA, a program that completed an undefeated 15-game season this year, winning the 2014 Independent School League Championship. For over a year, I worked as a softball instructor and coach, as well as implemented a strength and conditioning program tailored towards softball, at a baseball and softball training facility in Portland, Maine called The Edge Academy (formerly Frozen Ropes). My expertise includes pitching, fielding (infield and outfield), throwing, and hitting. I like to focus on teaching sound fundamentals and mechanics, as well as including injury prevention to ensure longevity of the playing career. Lastly, I hold one of the most renowned certifications in the strength and conditioning field, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, through the National Strength and Conditioning Association and would be happy to include strength and conditioning in my clients' lessons.

During my 20 year playing career, I have competed collegiately for both Emmanuel College and the University of Southern Maine. During my career at Emmanuel College, I was named to the GNAC weekly honor roll, awarded to athletes with stellar individual performances. At USM, I was awarded the William B. Wise scholar-athlete award for those athletes that perform both on the field and in the classroom. This award exemplifies my emphasis on the "STUDENT" in student-athlete.
Throughout my high school playing career as starting pitcher, my high school finished with it's best overall record in school history, as well as it's highest conference finish in school history. Lastly, I competed in ASA summer softball tournaments throughout New England and at the Nationals tournament in Richmond, Virginia, under the now Division I University of Maine Head Coach, Lynn Coutts.

Each session will be tailored to the client I am with. As mentioned before, I like to implement drills that focus on sound fundamentals and mechanics, in addition to implementing injury prevention exercises to ensure shoulder health throughout the athletes career.

Client Reviews

Jesse is a great instructor. Our first session went very well. She focused on my positives and made adjustments as necessary. I felt really comfortable working with her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable instructor.

Sincerely,
Nicole A

I scheduled a lesson with Jesse for my 13 year old niece nearly two months in advance. I explained to her that my niece was only in town for a few days that this was a birthday present for her. Jesse stated that she would reach out in advance of the lesson to confirm the details of our meeting. Not having heard from Jesse a few days prior to the lesson, I contacted her. A day or two went by without a reply and 36 hours in advance of our scheduled lesson she cancelled. Here are her exact words in an email she drafted..."Given that CoachUp lessons are a second part-time job on top of another full time and part time job, I cannot change my availability any more than I already have for previous summer family events, etc." So it seems that my nieces scheduled lesson for her birthday came after two other jobs and her summer family events. Although I can't speak to Jesse's coaching ability, I can attest to her lack of communication, planning and professionalism as it relates to her coach up responsibilities. From the perspective of me and my niece, a one start rating is far too generous. Buyer beware.

Coach Jesse did a fantastic job with my daughter's first lesson. She put her through a thorough work out at first base, and gave her a great workout at bat. She gave her a lot of excellent tips that she can put to use right now. Jesse responds quickly to emails and is positive with her approach to coaching. We are going to set up more lessons as soon as we can! Thank you Jesse!

Coach Jesse was Great! My daughter could not stop talking about what a great experience it was to work with someone who she can relate to. Coach Jesse teaching style was exactly was I was looking for in a coach. We look forward to working with Coach Jesse.

Thank you so much Jesse. Ava enjoyed her lesson. The heat was a bit to much towards the end. I did see her improving with each pitch. You work great with her.

Coach Jesse was great with my 13 year old daughter. She was able to quickly spot the areas that my daughter needs to improve on. We look forward to future sessions and highly recommend Coach Jesse to anyone looking for a private softball coach.
