Ian Adey is the guest for this episode of the coaching podcast, talking to Chris Brain about coaching white water kayaking.
Ian is a Level 5 Kayak Coach and Advanced Canoe Coach who runs Kinetic Paddlesports based in the Lake District. He got hooked on watersports in his early teens and is still obsessed.
Ian is passionate about passing on the most up to date technical knowledge and modern techniques. His focus is on explaining paddling with simple terms, free of jargon. He is a firm believer that what we coach beginner and intermediate paddlers should still work in advanced conditions, and continue to work wherever people take their paddling.
The topics discussed by Chris and Ian include:
- Common misconceptions for white water paddling
- Edging vs leaning
- Vertical paddle strokes
- Self-analysis and use of video when coaching
- Evolution of white water techniques
- Remembering to play on the river
