“
“Over the course of his time at Messiah College, Jeff has changed the culture and significantly touched the lives of hundreds of student-athletes. He provides a clear and sequential approach to sports performance that is both easy to understand and put into practice.
Head coaches at all levels do not have enough time to dedicate portions of their days to all the aspects of coaching and several key areas go unnoticed, one of which is sports counseling/psychology. Jeff has been able to fill that void for Messiah College athletics and I look forward to our continued relationship.”
- Jack Cole, Director of Athletics, Messiah College
