Fitness for Paddlesports
Not just
for our Olympic athletes! Ever felt tired at the end of a paddle,
ever felt you could do with a little more energy .This module could
help you to last that bit longer on the river, and still have enough
left to style that last rapid.
Coaching the Mind
Psycho mumbo
jumbo? Definitely not! Ever had to psych yourself at the top of a
rapid, ever had to talk one of your students into pushing their comfort
zone a little, this module is designed to give us all the mental edge
to improve our coaching and paddling.
Performance Planning for Paddlesport Coaches
This module is great for planning those progressive sessions, working
on establishing students wants and needs and designing a plan to help
them achieve their goals.

coaching. It Is particularly useful to anyone looking to mentor new
coaches, whether you a current Level 3 or above who has been asked to

will be to mentor new Level 1s , this module will start to give you
those skills.
Outdoor Education and Paddlesport
Lots of us use paddling to help deliver other educational objectives,
this module looks at how we can do that more effectively, it also looks
at how we can use paddlesport to help our students have a better
understanding of the environment.

our sessions to cater for the needs of our young, developing paddlers.
It looks at how we develop physically, mentally and socially and how
that effects our paddling, it also looks at all the BCU initiatives to
help you to become a better young paddlers coach.
