@coachinplatform I'm very happy and excited to join the platform!

[Achieveminds Coaching @coachinplatform]

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.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

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.
