COMMUNITY SERVICE - MAKING A DIFFERENCE the following IJGA students for their efforts and organizing the collection; Tristin Gallant, James Doxey, Shuya Hagiwara, Kazuki Yamauchi, Pamas Abhiteachapan and Vee Thiara. Leaving a Legacy - Clearing Trails at OC It’s about leaving a legacy that drives students to clear trails on a Saturday at IJGA’s Old Carolina campus, making the grounds cleaner and more visually appealing for students and the Old Carolina community to enjoy. The ongoing service project enables students to give back while improving their surroundings and making the campus a better place to live. The Trails project is part of the Character Development program overseen by IJGA Director of Mental Performance Skylar Jewell. Video created by IJGA student-athlete Vasundhara Thiara. WATCH THE VIDEO! Getting Tricky! In part two of a three part Mental Performance series, the IJGA students explored Imagery and Creativity by being tasked to create a trick shot. Here is what Director of Mental Performance, Skylar Jewell had to say, “While trick shots are fun, doing them with purpose allows you to exercise creativity and problem solving. Similar to being on the course, finding ways to creatively get the ball into the hole, on demand, is a necessity to reach the next level. We provided the students with a creative problem to solve and they did so. Solving problems with creative solutions extends even beyond golf and at that we are subtly preparing students for wherever their passions may lead.” Keep checking in for more information for your game and reach out for more information on how to bring creative thinking into your process.
