Success Stories
If you've been wondering whether the GavSays Polo Academy is right for you, I've got a bunch of case studies from people from all different backgrounds, clubs and levels. They've got some great insight into what you can get out of the Academy, and I think they'll help you see what's possible. Let's take a look...
Marshall Rosenburg, Houston Polo Club, -1 Handicap
"Just doing research on the internet I could never find anything that was even close to this..."
"If you follow this (the Academy training) you are going to get better. Wherever you're at in the world of polo, you're going to get better, and you're going to have more fun!"
Wendy Stover, Riverbend Polo Club, 0 Goal Handicap
"I have been playing for 40 years. I have never had as much help with my polo than now since I joined Gav's academy"
Cameron Brawn, Adelaide Polo Club, 0 Goal Handicap
"Gav is so good at being able to get across how to be on the field, where to be on the field, how to ride off a professional, or how to get yourself into position and how not to be in losing positions. I think I'll be learning of Gav for a long time...."
Erika Lipton, Flying Cow Polo, -1 Goal Handicap
"You can get so much knowledge here. There's something for every level... And I don't know who is above the instruction, as I said, there is something for absolutely everyone to improve..."

More Comments From Our Students:
This week I got a message... saying that they raised my handicap
"I just wanted to say that GavSays Polo Academy is a great platform, and it has been really useful in my polo. This week I got a message from the Association Argentina de Polo, saying that they raised my handicap from one to two goals (women's hcp), and much of it is because of your help through all the videos that you put in the Academy and all the tools that you offer us to be able to improve. So all that I can say is thank you very much."

The Single Best Way For Me... to Learn More and Improve

I think GavSays is the absolute best tool out there for anyone at any level of polo
"I have been a member of GavSays for a few years now. I think this is the best tool anyone can use to improve their polo. At any given moment of your day, you can access GavSays and have a virtual lesson at your fingertips. If you take an hour lesson at home, you will pay far more for that one lesson than the academy costs for months! And how many of us retain all that is said in that one hour lesson? With the academy, you can go over the videos again and again and Gav and Rob will answer any questions you may have. You can send videos of yourself to Gav for critique. You can send videos of your game for review, too! A bonus perk is it is a wonderful way to connect with people around the world. I think GavSays is the absolute best tool out there for anyone at any level of polo; from beginners, to horse trainers, to weekend warriors, to high rated professionals, Gav can help us all."

Incredibly Helpful and Very Specific
"This is the only website I have found specific to polo that is incredibly helpful and very specific. If I have a problem in training my horse I can find some different ideas so I am not just doing the same thing that is not working. Also for myself, if I am getting beat in a certain play or not hitting a shot consistently or as well as I would like I can always find a solution. Lastly I find Gav VERY easy to understand and in a relaxed manner that allows me to learn what he is trying to teach. Please keep up the good work! I appreciate both Gav and Rob's help very much."

My Understanding of the Game (Has) Increased Greatly
"After finding GavSays Polo Academy, my understanding of the game increased greatly . Having experience in other equine disciplines was helpful , but I wanted the how's & why's of the game. Starting polo at 56 was hard enough, I have gone through & back through the pillars and videos along with lessons weekly . I believe you'd be able to tell which players use all the Academy has to offer."

Has Made Me More Effective and The Game More Fun
"I've been playing for over 25 years, and I regret I did not have the GavSays instructional opportunity back when I started. His instruction has made me more effective and the game more fun. It is helping me remain a relevant competitor, even though I'm 20 to 40 years older than most of my fellow players."
- Jim Horne
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
For less than the price of a lesson you have a database of information
"This has been possibly one of the best things I've done to improve my Polo. Joining the GavSays polo Academy has taught me more strategy than I've learned on the field. For less than the price of a lesson you have a database of information covering you, your horse, and your equipment."
