WHAT THE ATHLETES ARE SAYING

We have been incredibly grateful to connect with Jess Hanson. Our daughter suffered serious injuries that took her almost completely out of her college recruiting summer, all but killing her dream of being recruited to a D1 school. It was the lowest we have ever seen our daughter, as she struggled with anxiety, heartbreak and feeling like she could not get through being sidelined. From her first session, our daughter felt an instant connection with Jess. She felt listened to, understood, and was given tools to adjust her mindset as the days and weeks in her recovery went by. We have seen our daughter persevere and show resilience, and despite the setbacks she suffered, she committed to a top 25 D1 school this Fall. We know that Jess played -and continues to play- a role in her success.

Today's athlete faces more stressors than ever before in their lives off the field. Jess Hanson has been able to help my daughter cope with and overcome these challenges to be the best athlete she can be. Jess has taught my daughter that the mind is the most important part of the body to train. With Jess my daughter has learned to be confident her abilities, to trust her decisions and most importantly, the power of positive self-talk. I can see my daughter carrying this mindset into other parts of her life. I cannot recommend Jess enough as a coach who cares about athletes as a whole people, not just players.

I’ve only had four meetings with Jess so far, and she has already helped me in a multitude of ways. I started meeting with her because I lacked confidence as an athlete and wasn’t able to bounce back from mistakes I made on the field. Shortly after I started working with her, my game instantly improved and I started to have a lot more fun. On top of that, her advice helped me gain confidence in everything I do on a daily basis. I am now able to consistently do my schoolwork in a calm and confident manner. Without her help, I wouldn’t be the self-reliant and composed student-athlete that I am today. Working with Jess has already been life-changing, and I can’t wait to see what she can do to help me in the future!

JM3 Consultant and Kent Denver Lacrosse Head Coach
Jess is a trusted source for my daughter. I’ve seen her establish a rapport with her that is both lighthearted and natural, but also allows for her to dive deep into the most difficult emotions she is feeling. When my daughter has been at a loss for words to even explain her feelings, Jess has helped her name them and formulate a solid plan for dealing with them. When my daughter hasn’t wanted to talk through things with me or her coach, she talks to Jess and always feels more empowered, confident and self aware. I wish every athlete could work with Jess!

Jess has done a great job helping me deal with the transition out of playing the sport I have played for the last 16 years to a new sport. She has helped me gain confidence in my new sport and learn to love competitive sports again. I appreciate how patient she is and regardless of my headspace she always does her best to put things in perspective for me!
