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. St. Pierre offers more than just experience to her athletes, she brings with her knowledge of the sport and familiarity with the University. 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.
