Golf - JNJG TALENT PATHWAY
JNJG will confirm your invite to the program shortly!
The JNJG Talent Pathway is delivered in partnership with Jack Newton Junior Golf (JNJG) and the Regional Academies of Sport (RAS) network.
With support and guidance from JNJG, this program provides a high‑performance development pathway for talented young golfers, focusing on technical skills, strength and conditioning, athlete education, and personal growth. It aligns with the JNJG Talent Pathway and connects athletes to state and national pathways.
Athletes receive targeted skill development, seasonal training support, and preparation for high‑performance tournaments on the JNJG Calendar via JNJG supported pathways. The program includes practical education in areas such as S&C, nutrition, sports psychology and injury management, along with opportunities to represent WRAS at events, inter‑academy sessions and camps.
