A Class A member of the PGA, the Nittany Lion coach has taught in New York and Florida and is currently the director of instruction at the Penn State golf courses. During the winter, St. Pierre teaches a golf conditioning class for the local community, as well as instructing health and human development classes at Penn State. She also serves as the director for the Penn State summer golf schools, and co-directs five junior camps during the summer. She has had a very successful career at Penn State and looks forward to more growth and success for the Nittany Lion women. St. Pierre wants to provide life guidance as well as athletic guidance.
Players face challenges both on and off the course that effect how they play their game.
As a coach, she believes she must be aware of those factors in order to help the player cope on the course. I believe in striving to be the best, but if you're not having fun or growing in the process, it is not worth the effort. St. Pierre hopes her players graduate from the program as not only a better golfer but a better person as well. Every coach has a different strategy on how to run a team, Denise St. Pierre's is not just centered around golf but around education and dreams. She understands that golf is not her athlete's entire life.
