Tournament Strategy
Tournaments provide the competitive
environment to test students’ skills.
However, it is important to build the right
schedule based on age, ability, goals and
objectives. Having a mix of tournaments
that provide different levels of
difficulty is an excellent way to gain
experience, be challenged and to
build confidence.

Training Program
The training program includes
physical training – functional strength
and conditioning, mental performance

performance cycle is assess – train –
compete – evaluate.

Assessments
Without an accurate gauge of where a
student-athlete is in all areas of athletic
development – functional strength & conditioning,
technical skill, mental strength, course strategy and
personal growth – it is impossible to provide the
right plan for their development. Utilizing the best
technological diagnostic tools, combined with
many years of coach experience, BGGA students
are assessed in all areas throughout the year.
Blueprints
Using the assessment data, an individualized
improvement plan or blueprint is created for
each student with clear and measurable process
goals in all areas of training. Outcomes and goals
are easy to set, but the blueprint provides
the roadmap or the how to achieve those
goals. Blueprints are regularly monitored
and adjusted based on progress and
development.
