bramston canoe club developmental coaching plan

On the 16th November 2018 the coaches held a meeting and decided on assigning coaches to specific disciplines in order to better gauge a paddlers abilities in their chosen fields.

This helps facilitate more personalised training programmes, which each individual can work on at their own pace.

With set goals such as future trips, paddlers will have targets to aim for and improve their skill set in a timely fashion to meet the standards required to participate in that particular activity.

It also enables paddlers to better judge whether they have the capability of attending a trip, event or venue without giving too much concern to the organisers.

As part of their programme paddlers are encouraged to attend certain trips which are measured to improve their confidence and paddling skills by their very nature.

The intention is an improvement in the paddling talent within the club resulting in an improvement in everyone’s standard and more enjoyable experiences both on and off the water.
