Aaron Jensen
Coach of the Year
The coach of the year winner for 2021 was Aaron Jensen, for his dedicated work in Judo.
Although COVID-19 restrictions cancelled competitions for the Yukon’s judokas, Aaron continued to share his passion for the sport and train athletes and inspire fellow coaches. Aaron offers fundamentals to train to compete to his athletes and has worked with other combative sports like wrestling, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
In fall 2021, Aaron participated in a Comp Dev weekend clinic in Burnaby facilitated by Judo Canada. He’s also a part of a coach development team with other coaches in Western Canada.
Congratulations Aaron on being named Sport Yukon’s 2021 Coach of the Year. Judo is truly a way of life for him.
