Coaches Summit 2.0
From August 21-24, JAGA hosted its annual Coaches Summit, bringing together top coaches from most of our campuses to discuss innovative ways to enhance our coaching strategies and student-athlete management. The focus was on refining our approach to ensure our students are not only top golfers but also well-prepared for college life. Below are some of the key outcomes from the summit:
1. Mentor Program
A significant new initiative, our Mentor Program, will see students divided into smaller groups, each assigned a dedicated coach-mentor. This mentor will oversee all aspects of the student's development, ensuring holistic progress. While specialized coaches will focus on specific areas like swing, putting, short game, nutrition, and academics, the mentor will be the primary guide, making adjustments as needed.
2. Adapting the JAGA-Way
We are continuously evolving "The JAGA-Way," our unique coaching philosophy. With insights from the summit, we’ve enhanced our testing and coaching methods to provide even more personalized training based on individual test results. This ensures that each student receives tailored guidance that aligns with their growth and development.
3. Daily Schedules and Schedule Changes
This year, we are placing greater emphasis on aligning our students' schedules with their tournament and exam timelines. For example, students approaching tournament season may shift their focus from academics to intensive golf practice, with academic work rescheduled during quieter periods. This flexibility ensures they are optimally prepared for both their sporting and academic commitments.
4. JAGA Strike Force
We’re excited to introduce the JAGA Strike Force, an elite group for our top-performing students. Members will operate on a distinct schedule, participate in more international tournaments, and be held to the highest standards. Selection will be based on rigorous tests and tryouts, with details on team composition to follow.
Coaches Involved:
Shane Gillespie - JAGA International
Arjun Malik - JAGA India
Marc-Andre Menard - JAGA UAE
Adam Wills - JAGA Thailand
Christian Kjaebro - The JAGA-Way Product Manager
Billy Fyfe - The JAGA-Way Technical Development
DK Singh - Director of Strategy & Development
The JAGA Coaches Summit has set the stage for an exciting and innovative year ahead. With these new initiatives, we are confident that our student-athletes will continue to excel both on the course and in their academic pursuits. We look forward to implementing these strategies and watching our students thrive.

JAGA Canada Leads the Way as First Campus to Open for 2024-25 School Year
