Following on from February’s launch of Coach Connect, we are delighted to welcome you back for our next edition – ‘The Coach through the Athlete’s eyes’. The format will be interactive, and you will have more opportunities to learn from and engage with fellow attendees as together we grow our paddlesports coaching community.

The voice of the athlete can sometimes go unheard in coach development. That is why we wanted to bring it to the forefront of this edition as we engage on themes around communication, perspective, motivation and individuality.

2 panels of athletes from a range of disciplines will share their thoughts and how they live the “coaching experience”. Themed discussions in breakout rooms between the panels will be an opportunity to connect with other attendees and gain further insight on how they try to bring their best coaching to each athlete/group/situation.

Due to high attendance recorded at our launch edition and to promote quality interaction between the attendees we are running 2 seperate evenings: Monday 19th and Wednesday 21st of April. All coaches, athletes, members are welcome to join and actively participate in developing this community of paddlesport coaches in Ireland.
