Module JXH-2062:
Paddlesport Coaching & Leader

Paddlesport Coaching and Leadership 2025-26
JXH-2062
2025-26
School of Psychology & Sport Science
Module - Semester 1 & 2
10 credits
Module Organiser: David Kohn-Hollins
Overview

During the module you will experience and discover ways in which outdoor leaders change their leadership styles to accommodate their group’s needs in a diverse range of water-based environments and challenging activities such as wild swimming in the Menai Straits and coasteering off the West coast of Anglesey. You will also learn various coaching techniques and strategies, for example, tools to profile a client’s performance and create a safe and appropriate development plan for them. As a Year 2 student, you will be given the opportunity to be assessed by British Canoeing Assessors for the Paddlesport Instructor and Paddlesport Leadership Awards. If you already hold these qualifications arrangements will be made for you to work towards alternative or higher levels of qualification.

This module comprises of 3 blocks of water-based activity rather a session every two weeks as seen in Year 1. This allows us to optimise our use of favourable weather and conditions and enables you to consolidate your skill development during an intensive period. It further provides you with time to collect logbook hours required for your National Governing Body assessments. Please note that the first 3-day block is in September the week before Welcome Week and you must make sure you are available for it. The second 3-day block is in March and involves developing personal paddling skills in white-water; the third a 4-day block during the exam period in May and involves your paddlesport instructor and leadership assessments.
