About Canoe Coaching
The Team at Canoe Coaching
Canoe Coaching is not just me, it is my dream; but there is a team. My criteria is simple; do my team love what they can do by canoe? Do they get a buzz from sharing it?
Anna Gordon
Anna is unfortunately the end to my padding excuses. What I ask myself is why I bother thugging my way round a river when Anna can manage the same moves with style. Her particular interest is canoe expeditioning and coaching. It is great to meet coaches for whom people matter most. Anna I get married in May, Canoe Coaching’s gain. Both of us will continue to work regularly with the Beyond Adventure team in Aberfeldy. Her dog is called Bracken, so far proficient in wrecking trim, falling out of boats, swimming and appearing cute.
Liam Walsh
Liam joined the team in summer 2008. Having spent a season in New Zealand. He returned to blast his Level 3 canoe and kayak and his 5 star canoe.
He loves to be in a boat and gets a kick out of sharing his experience to help you.
Gareth Field
He has paddled since he was small, which for anyone who knows Gareth must have been a while back. He has raced kayaks and canoes on flat and white water. There are some people who are sickening to paddle with, Gareth is very in tune to the river environment. It has been my great pleasure to boat with him and learn from him. Equally it has been my delight to see his coaching mature.
Claire Knifton
Claire is a Level 5 canoe and sea coach. She regularly works with us up in Scotland where Canoe coaching and her company cknifton.co.uk often combine forces to provide training and assessment courses.
She has a wealth of experience. She also has the gift of turning the mysteries of river leadership into a simple, logical, sequenced approach.
