Today in Women in Sport Week we’re celebrating Female Coaches in Paddlesports.
Let’s take a glance at just a few of the incredible coaches going through the assimilation process to be integrated into our new coaching pathway as club or pathway coaches.
Making a difference session by session, here are a few quotes about the why, how and the impact they want their coaching to have.
Patricia McCormack
“Women do not always naturally see their own talents”
“I usually get new helpers to assist me and then by encouraging them they realise they too could coach”
Caroline Schofield
“Coaching a Dragon Team is like putting a Jigsaw together”
“I love working with the paddlers to come together into a fluid, powerful energy moving this huge boat”
Cleo Pitcher Farrell
“I would encourage that everyone tries coaching roles because it is so rewarding and not only are you teaching others you learn so much about yourself”
Pauline Jordan
“I hope my coaching develops passionate, knowledgeable and skilled paddlers who can make informed choices on their own paddling futures”
Aisling Griffin
“Seeing people progress and enjoying the sport is why I coach”
