Working alongside other coaches both experienced and upcoming coaches is one of the most rewarding aspects of my job. It is an opportunity to learn, gain another perspective and share feedback. With coaches who works with me on joint trips or on their own with Sea Kayak Alice clients, I have absolute confidence through understanding their experience, approach and personality that they do a fantastic job. I also do freelance work for Glenmore Lodge, the Scottish Canoe Association, and several kayaking events.
