Coaching the Mind - BCU Course

Based from Totnes Kayaks, ICG ran another "Coaching the mind" course which is a BCU CPD module. A great response was recieved from a diverse audience of coaches and paddlers from the Southwest and even as far away from London.

The course covered: Importance of mental skills training, concentration, imagery, arousal levels and coping with anxiety.

Sea Kayak Coaching




Wednesday this week we were again blessed with this continual good weather. Our BCU 3 star sea kayaking course was based at Torbay and used the slight sea swell and gentle easterly winds to our advantage.

Equipment selection, personal skills, rock hopping, rescue skills and passage planning were all part of the course.
