"Jimmy stands out as one of the best coaches I've ever worked with, sharing his vast amount of knowledge and helping me return to peak fitness after a severe leg injury in the World Cup. Without Jimmy's expertise I doubt I would be back on the slopes today feeling ready to perform my best again!"

""After working with many trainers none are as adaptable and patient as Jimmy. He listened to me and understood my body's needs. Because of him, I was able to return to skiing with the US Ski Team. Even when I had hiccups and long blocks home I knew Jimmy would still be dedicated to helping me""
