Coaching Sea Kayaking - New Course

We have recently launched our new course on Coaching Sea Kayaking.  In this blog post we want to look at how choosing the right environment is key when it comes to a day of coaching.  If you get the environment right the whole session will be a lot easier and also more beneficial for your students.  

Paddlers often book in to a days coaching to help them become more confident in conditions and increase the environments that they are happy to paddle in.  For a coach to help a student develop their ability to take on rougher conditions it is important to know where are student is in terms of their comfort zone.  In the sample video above we talk about how to use the stretch zone to increase the size of the students comfort zone.

We hope that you enjoy this taster lesson which is just one lesson from the 30 lessons in the new course  with over 3 hours of video lessons and exercises. James and Simon are both British Canoeing Level 5 Coaches with over 25 years of experience coaching a variety of students in a variety of environments.
