AWE training

Last weekend was the advanced water This two day course provides the training required to progress to the BCU Advanced Water Endorsement Assessment. The aim of the course is to develop your coaching knowledge to transfer the coaching skills from the BCU (UKCC) Level 2 Certificate in Coaching Paddlesport into a discipline specific advanced water environment. This will build on the Moderate Water Endorsement skills and focus particularly on the techniques and tactics of coaching in the challenging advanced water environment. With this in mind the course will be spent primarily looking at ‘what’ we coach in the advanced environment with the specific boats, and then ‘how’ we do that with the skills that we already have.a strong course delivered by lee Pooley on the south west rivers

A thoroughly modern book on the traditional open canoe.
This book covers all aspects of the open canoe, from design to wilderness travel. What really sets it apart is its focus on canoeing techniques.
Ray Goodwin is the UK’s best known and (many would go so far as to say) foremost canoe coach. By introducing some of the latest canoeing performance skills, based on what he has discovered through decades of coaching and guiding, he sets out to inspire a new generation of paddlers. Through clear language and the use of photographs acquired over many years of paddling around the world, he shares some real insights of the reality of canoeing; sometimes gritty, but always enthralling.
