Freestyle Weekend

A weekend of intensive, top quality coaching aimed at developing all aspects of your freestyle kayaking. The freestyle development weekend will be in various destination to best fit your needs.

The coaching will be provided by LiLi guides in partnership with guest coaches. It will be designed to suit your individual requirements, with the aim of transforming all aspects of your freestyle kayaking.

Our expert coaches and their instruction and advice on competition preparation will help you maximize your performance and compete at your highest level in competition.

On this trip

  • Personalised coaching – get individual coaching from some of the best on the elements of freestyle that you want to work on.
  • Expert technique advice – we can break down any freestyle move or combo and provide you with key points and valuable understanding to help get that move nailed.
  • Long term development – we aim not just to help you out during that week, but also to provide you with all the understanding and knowledge to continue your development beyond competition.
  • Daily video feedback – we will use progressive, positive coaching and resources including extensive daily video analysis.
  • Run construction – how to choose which move to do first? Go big or be conservative? Should you try to link moves or keep it simple? We will tackle all these questions and more to help you put together the perfect run on any feature.
  • Competition scoring – a fundamental part of winning competitions that is often overlooked is whether you are scoring what you think you are. We can help you understand how judging works, and help you build a comprehensive understanding of the latest competition rules.
  • Mental preparation – some days you paddle well, and some days you don’t. We will discuss ways to put yourself in the right mindset, feeling positive to make sure your big competition day is a day when you’re on fire, not washed out.
  • Competition preparation – we can help you prioritise your training to identify key areas for focus and help you put together a training plan that provides higher performance.
