We are privileged to welcome our new host, Georgina Maxwell, to launch the brand new season of the Coaching Podcast.
Hailing from the north of Scotland, Georgina isn’t just a white water paddling powerhouse; she’s a force of nature with an incredible breadth of paddlesport experience. Georgina is also a winter mountaineering climbing instructor, bringing a truly diverse and exciting range of knowledge to the microphone. Having worked at Glenmore Lodge, Plas y Brenin, with the British Military amongst a whole host of other paddlers, clubs and groups. Georgina is a familiar and highly respected name in the paddling and coaching world, and we’re absolutely thrilled to have her lead the way.
Joining Georgina on the first episode if Chris Evans. Chris grew up paddling on the Thames where slalom and freestyle kayaking were all the rage, at the age of sixteen he was taken to a ‘real’ river and the rest is history. Twenty six years later and he’s not only keeping the slalom and freestyle in his river paddling but he’s now coaching the movements as part of his work as a full time paddlesport coach. Chris is also part of the British Canoeing Awarding Body EQA team.
Georgina and Chris discuss –
- all the elements behind playing the river, from finding the joy of a soul surf to impressing your mates with the often-illusive endless tailies.
- how to get started and what would make a suitable river play kayak
- how to get one step ahead of a boats movement when being pushed around in moving water
