Saints part of Coaching development

TEN CLUBS will open their doors to multicultural coaches in 2017 after St Kilda's success with the newly named Alex Jesaulenko Program last year.

The Saints placed Jamie Pi in their football program last season as part of a multicultural coaching pilot developed by the AFL and the AFL Coaches' Association.

A Chinese migrant, Pi has now moved into part-time employment with the Saints, working with their Next Generation Academy and community programs, and spending one day a week with their AFL coaches.

Six clubs participated in the pilot program last year, but that will grow significantly in 2017, with 10 clubs confirming their participation this week.

"It motivates me even more to be better at what I do, not just from a coaching perspective … it's been a great program."

The Jesaulenko Program is designed to give multicultural coaches exposure at AFL level and then send them back into community football where they can share their experience.

For Pi, the program has opened doors at St Kilda and seen him this year named coach of the AFL Victoria All-Nations team, an under-15s representative team made up of players from multicultural backgrounds.
