The Core Coach Training online can be used as a progressional step towards becoming a coach, used as continual professional development, or as an opportunity to explore and share ideas of coaching concepts online.

The Core Coach Training is open to all paddlers regardless your discipline or previous coaching experience.

During the course, you will explore subjects that will help you understand:

• The learning journey of the paddlers you coach
• How to coach learners with different needs
• Structures for practice, to enable your learners to get the most from sessions on the water with you.

Around the main sessions you will also explore (with the support of your tutors):
