Coaching

All this open boating has got me quite excited about being a more highly qualified open boat coach. I'm working towards my L2 at the moment which is generic - I have to coach both open boat and kayak- but then I can specialise for level 3. I have been coaching James who is a domestic at the Lodge wanting to do his 2* and L1, and friends Wendy and Kes in Kayak and open boat . I am really enjoying coaching and have learned loads from working with these guys. Im hoping to volunteer on some sessions with Abernethy Nethybridge and local club Speyside Paddlers to get some more varied coaching hours in. Instructors at the Lodge have been really supportive too, helping me with lesson plans and reviews etc which I'm really grateful for.
