JASON GARFIELD
World
Juggling Federation Founder and President
Author of the Theory and Practice of Juggling Book
and DVD
Jason Garfield has been juggling for 21 years. Jason started juggling
at eleven years old and quickly realized that juggling filled
a void in his life. After having just moved to a new city with
no interest in any sports and few friends, juggling gave Jason
goals, increased his self esteem and a continuous feeling of accomplishment.
Jason practiced every day and once a week with the Seattle Cascade
Jugglers. These weekly meetings were a major source of motivation
for Jason. Each week he trained to show them how much he learned
in the past week. Once Jason entered and won his first international
competition at age thirteen, he increased his training regimen
and was determined to become the best he could be. Later he went
on to win numerous gold medals and set two world records.

In
2000, at age 26, Jason formed the World Juggling Federation to promote
the sport and proper instruction of juggling. In 2004, Jason was and
still is the first person in history to get juggling competitions
on television. ESPN broadcast the first two years of competitions
in 2005 and 2006. These shows and events were all produced by Jason
Garfield. Jason's drive and work ethic is incorporated within his
performances. Whatever your students' goals
are, they have to be be approached one step at a time and in the right
order. Learning how to juggle is an excellent example of how to do
this. Jason encourages everyone to find something that they have an
interest in and excel at it to the best of their abilities, expecting
some failures along the way to success.
Jason
Garfield truly believes that juggling can help many others as
it did for himself. With the World Juggling Federation School
Program and events, there is more motivation then ever for kids
to become involved.
Jason Garfield is available to come to your school to give a demo
performance and teach workshops for your students and teachers.
His presentation demonstrates some of the most challenging juggling
moves ever seen and gets the kids excited about learning how to
juggle. Jason then can train your students in proper body position
and juggling technique. Instruction for the teachers is also encouraged
so that they can become certified to teach as well. Being the
president of the organization, Jason can set your school up with
everything it needs to make a difference in your students' lives,
and to help in the continuation of it for years to come. With
twenty-one years of experience, Jason Garfield can motivate and
inspire your students to realize and reach their goals, starting
with juggling.
