    GB Coaching Conference – a date for your diary!

    In creating the Sprint Performance Strategy, it was identified that there are currently limited opportunities in which the sprint community can come together to create connection between coaches, a platform which enables performance conversations to take place and to feedback learnings and work going on within the World Class Programme. The GB-ONE Coaching conference aims to create an event where coaches can come together with those in the community as well as those in British Canoeing, to help foster a more collaborative relationship built on trust and transparency.

    The conference will be aimed at all flatwater coaches who would like to engage with others in the community and share ideas and best practice. The list of direct invitees includes coaches who have registered interest in attending and supporting at international events and those who have engaged in coach development opportunities via the Talent Club Partnerships. 

    The conference is planned for 4th March 2023 at Reading Canoe Club between 12:00-18:00.

    Do not apply now. Just put the date in your diary. More details will follow and the invitation will be sent out soon.

    Kind regards and wishing you all a very Merry Christmas
