Coaching the Mind - £110 for the theory day or £195 for the two days, when available.
Performance Psychology is an area which as sea paddlers we give little thought to. In the 10 years Roger has been running Coastal Spirit, performance anxiety, fear and loss of control are a couple of reasons why paddlers are unable to progress. With a clearer understanding, of whats going on and why we feel a certain way, we can develop coping strategies and have a better chance to control and manage our emotions better and hence our performance.
Performance psychology can help you to understand more, manage those emotions better and provide effective strategies to move forwards, with 'flow' and achieve your goals.
This is British Canoeing Intermediate module and counts towards Continued Professional development (CPD), with the three year coaching up-date.

Our base is at a super campsite called Salen Bay Campsite, overlooking the Sound of Mull.
If the weather is poor we have a comfortable basecamp to consider doing day paddles. If the weather is settled we can head off on expedition and explore one of many stunning areas.
With Zoe and Roger.
This adventure is confirmed.
Orkney is a great paddling destination, offering fast-flowing tides, as well as sheltered areas suitable for various weather conditions.
This course is aimed at moderate water paddlers who are confident in f4/5 winds, with the associated occean swell and with the ability to paddle, 20-25km. Having paddled in tidal flow and currents is also essential.
This is the perfect adventure for those who have the skills and wish to develop their experience in a more remote environment and enjoy the opportunity to return to a campsite with good facilities, and grab a hot shower at the end of the day!
Join Zoe and Roger on this memorable adventure in 2027!
St Kilda here we come!!
We've just been buzzed by two bottlenose dolphins ... 
Great day with Sally working on boat handling, reading the water and its ok to feel uncomfortable.
Cemaes to Bull Bay was perfect, with wind with tide and then wind against by the afternoon so we got a few waves and a nice push along the coast.
It was nice to see Rob again too. Thanks for helping with the shutle! 
Great team and super time on our Shetland Adventure with the tall ship Lady of Avenel Sailing. Otters, Puffins, Orca and MuckleFlugga!
Thanks to Zoe Robinson and Hamish Leslie for their support and inputs.

NRS Europe "And I'm probably learning more from his mentoring now, as my paddling horizons expand, than ever before. I can't count how many questions I've asked... and he's answered. Roger has the knack of making that suggestion that radically changes your thinking and moves your paddling on in leaps and bounds."
"I've just completed a two day 4* Sea kayak training course with Roger. Having been coached by Roger in the past, I choose to do this course with Roger because I knew I would get a great deal from the course. My expectations were certainly well and truly met"
"There are a number of wonderful things about Roger. He has a very light touch in his coaching, and he's always smiling and encouraging you to relax into the enjoyment of the day"
