尽管杰佛斯的前任塔伯特在办院指导思想上是一位毫不掩饰的精英主义者,而且直至今日他仍然坚持这种观点,杰佛斯还是试图改变AIS的形象,使之更加接近社会。他将AIS的设施向那些非AIS运动员开放,让他们备战奥运会。但是并非所有AIS成员都赞成杰佛斯的主张,几个月内相续有两位教练辞职,他们是:游泳总教练-美国人丹尼斯·皮尔斯利(Dennis Pursley),以及田径总教练-凯尔文·吉尔斯(Kelvin Giles)。 Although Jeffers’s predecessor Tarbert was an unobtrusive elitist in the guiding ideology of his home, and up to this day he still insists, Jevis is still trying to change the image of AIS to bring it closer society. He opened AIS facilities to non-AIS athletes and prepared them for the Olympics. But not all AIS members are in favor of Jeffries’ assertion. Within two months, two coaches resigned: Coach Swimming - American Dennis Pursley and track and field coach Kyle Kelvin Giles.
