Structured Mentor & Coaching Clinics

Mentor & Coaching clinics (upward of 30 hours of Professional Coaching) can be designed around your current needs and included several different sessions with a single day. Recently in Darwin and Gove we ran the below program:

Friday afternoon (4-6pm) – We coach the local board (nipper and senior) athletes (and / or surf ski paddlers) while surf club coaches / age managers watch

Friday evening (7-9pm) – Social get together with athletes, coaches, age managers and parents

Saturday morning (5-7am) – We coach the local surf ski paddlers with the surf club ski coach assisting

Saturday mid-morning (8-10am)- We coach the elite nipper athletes on water and beach activities while surf club coaches / age managers watch

Saturday lunchtime (11am-3pm) – Mentoring program with coaches / age mangers for 3-4 hours

Saturday afternoon (4-6pm) – Board (and / or surf ski) training / coaching while local coaches / age managers practice new coaching skills

Sunday morning (6-8am) – Intermediate / advanced surf ski training / coaching / race tactics / advanced skills

Sunday nippers  (9-11am) – We attend and watch coaches / age managers practice their new coaching skills during normal nipper Sunday session

Sunday lunchtime (12noon-2pm) – Open / General coaching session for athletes / surf club coaches who would like a little extra

Sunday afternoon (3-5pm) – Open / General coaching session for athletes / surf club coaches who would like a little extra

Carnival attendance will be taking athletes for the morning warm up as well as coaching through the day including race tactics and evaluations.

 

A structured training program and / or a single coaching session per week will make a massive difference to your athletes improvement and a second set of eyes will enable your current coach to see things they may be missing. Whilst structure is important, we would be more than flexible to work with your club to ensure the above options are suitable. The end result will be your athletes performing at a stronger, more disciplined and race ready  level.
