Freestyle Coaching!

[Douchier]

Marie should be one,

other one TBC

We have to be at Stackallen for 11, so should we say everybody get to the boathouse for nine? and we'll work it all out then.

[MarieH]

Ya, I'll be driving. Cillian has already dibsed a spot in my car so I'v space for two more boats! This day sounds like it's going to be class .... Hoooorah!!

Also, I'll try my best to be at the pool session tonight to tweak my roll, I'v an exam in the morning so it will depend on how prepared I feel.

[DervM]

Can I dibs a spot in your car as well Marie?

[MarieH]

Seat 2 - reserved for Derv

Probably be happening mostly in the latter half of the session if that helps?

The Doyle family have been kind enough to lend me their car for the day too, so I'll also be driving.

9am at the boathouse -

There's enough room for everybody so it doesn't really matter who goes where, it's ok to work it out on the morning.
I can however guarantee that my car will feature "Choons"


Don't forget about the pool tonight!

So not on the topic of freestyle training, but still, in case anyone isn't aware:

If there is rubbish on the floor, wrappers between the seats, crumbs on the seats, new scratches on the paintwork or any other alterations to the state of the car the only way for me to avoid bearing the full brunt of my mother's wrath will be if I bring her the heads of the people who did it to guarantee they won't be in the car again.
And I'll do it.

Have fun paddling!

awesome day today guys, learnt a ton

[MarieH]

just chancing my arm, but is there any chance of going on the second day too or is there a number limit? Today was class, wouldn't mind learning a bit more/getting more comfortable with some of the moves.

I think it is number dependent, but check this out: http://forum.ucdcanoeclub.com/index.php/topic,10897.0.html

I've updated the lists in the top post.

So...What did everybody think of the session on Sunday?
Was it what you were expecting?
Did you learn much?
Would you do it again?
Is there anything else that you would like to have done?

Ronnie was quite keen for me to ask you guys what you thought and to get any feedback that he could.


Ronnie said that it would be possible for one or maybe two people to come along again if the wanted.
(nobody in particular, just limiting to 1-2 because the group would be getting very big at that point)
Marie, I've stuck your name down

Here's a quick checklist of questions you can answer to help out Ronnie, feedback is a two way street and essential for learning. Learn to critically assess the instruction you're given.
1: Was the instructor friendly
2: Did instructor seem organised
3: Did they explain things well
4: Was their demonstration clear
5: Were corrections done one on one or generally to the group or did the instructor point out particular flaws of the individual to the group as a whole
6: Was there a clear lesson plan
7: Did you achieve any specified goal
8: Did your instructor help you set and achieve a goal

[Douchier]

Ah...
If only a bunch of highly intelligent and highly educated university students were capable of analyzing a situation for themselves and forming a cogent critique...

Oh if only...


(then there probably wouldn't be the need for an older member with nothing better to do to patronise them...)

More crayons!
