We offer the following modules at your club or centre as well as direct from us. Contact us for a group booking for your modules. darren@fluidskills.com www.fluidskills.com
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.
Mentoring Skills for Paddlesport Coaches
This one is a great introduction to this highly rewarding aspect of 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 mentor a new TL2, or if you are a Trainee Level 2 one of your roles 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.
Coaching Young Paddlers
This one looks at how we as coaches can adapt 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.

Darren Joy passes BCU Level 5 coach award
A very long journey and I successfully passed my BCU level 5 inland coach award . This is the highest coaching award the national governing body Canoe England has.
With river levels looking good and lots to come the weekend started at Plas Y Brenin with a brief and interview with my unknown students that I was to coach the next day . A good session with my two students Chris and Hannah on day one on the River Dee, thank you so much for your time And such a pleasure to coach you both.
Day two was with my long term students Dan Daley from Lee valley Watersports site and Darren Sherwood from Chanel training . The water was super high and hitting a great level for us on the River Dee , the rest of North Wales seam to be in super flood?
Over all a great weekend and with great mentoring from Lee Pooley and a lot of thanks for his time and energy over the last 2 years.
A big thank you to everyone that has supported my development towards my L5 , the main person being Kate and your amazing way to keep going and support me all the way.
A very large smile still is on my face and I look forward to just getting out and coaching
Happy paddling
