New LSU men's golf coach Jake Amos
BATON ROUGE — New LSU men’s golf head coach Jake Amos arrived on campus Wednesday and met with members of the media. Here are a few of his comments:
Opening Statement …
“Thank you everyone for being here and I’m very excited to be here as well. I feel the love and it’s been amazing so far.”
On coming from ETSU and decision to come to LSU …
“East Tennessee State has done a lot for me and gave me my first chance. We won a lot. We won four straight conference titles, went to four straight national championships and we won a regional. It felt like I had done everything I could, and I really want to win a national championship so that’s why I came to LSU.”
His recruitment strategy …
“I want to keep the best players in the state and I want to keep Americans who love LSU and want to be here. I also think my advantage is that I know the world and I know the international market, and I have an advantage there that I am going to use. I think it’s really important to combine both.”
Coaching style …
“I’m not a technical coach at all. I’m more of a developer in terms of preparation and how to get ready for a tournament, how to manage the golf course, and how to manage your game and attitude. “Also, I focus on managing the team around each player and that’s my style of development.”
