“I have coached Jesse for several years at two different clubs. In that time he has developed in to an integral part of his current team. It is always a pleasure to have Jesse in the group. Jesse shows great commitment and effort both in training and in matches and frequently demonstrates a fantastic work ethic to help his team. In addition to a great attitude there is also a flexibility to adapt to the needs of the team by playing in different positions when required. There is always a desire to learn and take onboard advice, but there is also an awareness of situations within games with the willingness to interact with us as coaches to offer an opinion or suggestion, both tactically and with training plans. All of these qualities are coming together so that Jesse is contributing regular goals and assists to the team. ”
