He understands what it takes to perform when everything is on the line — and how important it is to cultivate resilience, self-awareness, and emotional strength.
Why coaching?
After retiring from competitive play, Jesse found purpose in guiding others. He's driven by a desire to help players navigate the same internal challenges he once faced — from pressure and burnout to confidence and clarity — and ultimately reach a place where they can fully express themselves in the game. For Jesse, it’s about helping clients reconnect with their true self and play from a place of authenticity. Coaching gives him a way to give back, empower others, and stay close to the heart of the game.
Why Achieveminds Coaching?
Because it's more than a platform — it's a mission. At Achieveminds, we focus on building complete esports professionals, not just mechanically skilled players. The alignment between Jesse’s values and our vision makes this a perfect fit.
Join us in welcoming Jesse to the team. We’re honored to have his wisdom, experience, and passion helping shape the future of esports.

I would like to reiterate Ukraine’s commitment to peace.
None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts.
We are ready to work fast to end the war, and the first stages could be the release of prisoners and truce in the sky — ban on missiles, long-ranged drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure — and truce in the sea immediately, if Russia will do the same. Then we want to move very fast through all next stages and to work with the US to agree a strong final deal.
We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. And we remember the moment when things changed when President Trump provided Ukraine with Javelins. We are grateful for this.
Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right. We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive.
Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format. We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will work effectively.

I'm back to doing mental performance coaching (1on1s) on Metafy. You can book sessions and read about my approach here: mfy.gg/@jerax (I recommend using browser)
There is an option for a free 30 min consultation to have an introduction to my coaching. I'll see how it goes.
Also, previously I announced group coaching. It's more affordable and collaborative process. You can find it here: forms.gle/QGAdBdByFdDvxBAj6
I previously talked about starting group coaching. I made a form to figure out if people are interested in this. Please fill this out if it's something you might want to participate one day:
docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
Thanks! And as always if you got questions about, discord: coach jerax
I've been thinking recently about starting group coaching for players. In this, you would connect with others who share common goals with you. There would be open dialogue and an encouraging environment, where everyone supports each others.
The goal of this is to bring players together to share their experiences around their gaming life in a safe space. I would facilitate the sessions by directing the group towards the topics that arise, help everyone feel engaged, and guide & teach how we can come to understand each others better.
General stuff:
-~8 sessions (90min) - session per week, 2 months all together
-25$/session
-For everyone, group size 4-7 + me
-There is an initial questionnaire which helps me handpick the groups, everyone will be strangers to each others
I would love to hear if there is interest for this kind of setup. And I appreciate if you share any thought. It would be fun to bring this to life (:
Hey, I keep an open mind and sometimes I post my observations. Please let me have that.
I do find it interesting that there is so much friction to this topic.
Can you run me through your thoughts on how you perceive the phenomenon?

I'm writing this because I don't hear people speaking about this enough.
There is definitely something going on in the US. Since November, the UAP (unidentified aerial phenomenon) activity has been increasing, and it's almost a norm in some cities (NJ for example) to spot these UAPs daily in the night sky.
Now here is the thing. The government is not able to identify these yet they say that "these drones are not a threat". How is that even possible?
Recently, there was a cyber truck exploding in front of Trump Tower and an email was sent to an intelligence officer. This released email linked this event to the UAP phenomenon. The main message was that the drones in the US are Chinese and use antigravitational propulsion.
I can't help but feel something serious is about to go down.

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Mayor of New Jersey EXPOSES “DRONE MYSTERY” Cover-Up
In a shocking series of statements posted online, Mayor Ryan Hurd of New Jersey alleges a widespread cover-up concerning unidentified drones operating across the state. He claims that both state and federal agencies are aware of these incursions but have refused to deploy effective countermeasures, despite the technology being readily available at no cost.
1. The December 11 Meeting
Mayor Hurd begins by describing a mandatory in-person meeting convened by Governor Phil Murphy on Wednesday, December 11 in Ewing, New Jersey. Attendees included local mayors, representatives from the New Jersey State Police, and the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness.
Mayor Hurd: “The topic? Unidentified drones. They admitted they don’t know who’s flying them, where they’re launched from, or where they land. It’s 2024 in America, and they’re this clueless?”
Hurd says he stood up and asked State Police Colonel Callahan two critical questions:
1. Whether the drone operation was connected to the U.S. military
2. Whether it could be a large tech company (e.g., Google, Amazon, SpaceX).
Mayor Hurd: “Callahan said: ‘It’s not.’ So who is it? No answers.”
Hurd highlights his 30 years in technology, including work on smart home systems, IoT, AI, and machine learning, stating that this experience drove him to investigate potential “Skunk Works” projects or cutting-edge initiatives that major corporations might be testing under wraps.
Mayor Hurd: “I know the players in the Skunk Works projects they’re hiding. Look me up on LinkedIn for proof.”
After leaving the meeting, Hurd says he immediately contacted colleagues in drone-tech and surveillance fields:
Mayor Hurd: “Guess what? Nobody knew anything.”
3. Assembling a Counter-Drone Team
Concerned by the lack of answers, Mayor Hurd says he put together a specialized task force:
• Craig: A combat veteran and retired major with extensive drone expertise,
• Dr. Green: A combat veteran and retired GS-15 tech expert,
• Blue Halo: A company specializing in counter-drone technology (including a system known as “Locust TAT”).
They narrowed down possible explanations for the unknown drone flights to three scenarios (unspecified here) but needed more definitive data—type, make, model, origin, to confirm.
Mayor Hurd: “Blue Halo’s Locust TAT system could do it.”
4. Pitching the Plan to Governor Murphy and the FBI
On Friday, December 13, Hurd proposed a plan to Governor Murphy:
Mayor Hurd: “Blue Halo provides tech and operators for free to detect—and, if approved, acquire—the drones.”
Governor Murphy connected them with Colonel Callahan, who arranged a Zoom call with the FBI. In that meeting, Hurd explains the FBI indicated they would bring their own detection assets. However, the FBI’s current tools only detect smaller, Class 1/2 drones:
Mayor Hurd: “We’re talking about Class 3/4 drones, totally different. The FBI ended the call abruptly.”
5. Congressional and Local Support
On Saturday, December 14, Mayor Hurd attended Representative Chris Smith’s press conference in Seaside Heights, briefing local mayors and county sheriffs:
Mayor Hurd: “They loved the plan. We also discussed involving the Coast Guard to assist with detection using Blue Halo’s tech.”
But on Monday, December 16, Hurd claims the initiative was effectively shut down:
Mayor Hurd: “The FBI had no interest in the solution, despite it being military-grade tech offered for free. Conveniently, Congress is now in recess.”
6. Allegations of a Federal Cover-Up
Mayor Hurd alleges that federal authorities are intentionally avoiding a real solution and offering only a surface-level response to keep the public in the dark:
Mayor Hurd:
1. “The federal government doesn’t want a solution.”
2. “They’re creating the illusion of a solution.”
3. “This is classic plausible deniability. You’re being fed a cover story—planes, legal drones, stars, the moon. Don’t buy it.”
He further questions why advanced tools are being rejected and why Congress is conveniently on break just as the drone issue intensifies.
“If the government won’t protect you, who will? Share this thread. Wake people up. The truth is out there. But they don’t want us to find it. Keep watching the skies.”
- Mayor Ryan Hurd
