Seminars

"Get the Nerve"

Come join us for this "hands on" clinic to learn how develop muscle control and nerve connections to help paddle more efficiently.  You have the ability. Come join Peter Heaver and Lori Jorgenson to receive tools on how to feel the muscle(s) engage at will, as well as enhance your visualization skills.

"Power Circles"

Have you ever wondered what kind of training you should be doing on the water to be a stronger more efficient paddler? This session will incorporate lecture, visual imagery, hands‐on demonstration, as well as breakdowns of what your body should be doing to effectively move the boat forward.

Power circles are the compression points through tensions that help athletes apply power efficiently for a smooth run of the boat. Understanding and revisiting your points of tension while paddling will demand a high level of effort but will reward you with better technique and more efficient power application. Learning your Power circles off water first is key to implementing them on water.

Tracks

This Track will help you target and engage muscles and work on finesse to optimize your power.

"Fitness"

A solid foundation of cardio and strength fitness makes an efficient paddler. Commit to the Fitness Track and plan on increasing your performance through cardio implementation, weight training, periodization, and on‐water endurance through sprints and distance. Implementing a fitness strategy is hard work but nothing shows results more than being able to efficiently paddle with solid technique from start to finish.
