How the Sessions Work
Our competition clinics are tailored to suit your needs, and the session will be planned around whatever it is you’d like to work on. Many people may wish to combine technique coaching with competition advice and that is absolutely fine - there is no need to choose one or the other.
If there is a specific competition you wish to prepare for? We can run a session on that feature geared specifically towards maximising your score.
-
What moves are you scoring?
-
How do you tweak a move to make it score?
-
What order should you do your moves?
-
Should you be conservative and rack up some easy points?
-
At what stage do you put your bigger moves into your run?
We can give you the answers to these questions and knowing the answers can make a huge difference to your final score.
We also have extensive experience putting together long term training plans. These plans can help you prioritise what to work on in your paddling sessions and how to maximise learning. In addition the LiLi team can also offer advice on other beneficial areas to performance such as gym routines and sports nutrition amogst other things.
Our sessions typically begin with an introduction and briefing with your LiLi coach followed by a thorough on the water session with specific goals and targets. We finish by reviewing the video footage and writing a comprehensive appraisal of the session with pointers for your future paddling.
We offer 3 hour, full day and two day rates, making us flexible to fit in with whatever it is you’re after.
There is lots of info down this page to figure out when, where and with who you’d like to book.
