Junior Championships Camp

Prodigy Championships camp is a week of intensive, top quality coaching aimed at developing all aspects of your freestyle kayaking in preparation for the World Cups or just to improve your freestyle in a fun environment.

The freestyle development camp will be based in Plattling, Germany where the World Cups and World Championships will take place. The training schedule will be designed to suit your individual requirements, with the aim of preparing you for the upcoming World Cups and Championships.

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 towards European Championships and beyond
Daily video feedback – we will use progressive, positive coaching and resources including extensive daily video analysis
Comprehensive review – at the end of the week we will provide you with an extensive review of your paddling (we will also send you a digital copy via email) as well as a few video clips showing the key things you worked on
This camp also gives you the opportunity to transform your competition performance for the better. We will work on:
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

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.
Competition practice – we will run several practice competitions, and we will help you learn how to maximise your points. We can also explore the use of visualisation and other techniques to help you prepare your mind just before a competition.
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.
Training for a most important competition – if you are working towards a certain event, we can run the whole week with that competition in mind, help you put together a run and identify key areas for you to work on.

Day 1 - arrival

Arrival at Munich airport (MUC) – Airport pick ups and meeting with Coaches. Setting the goals, talking about scope of abilities and preparations. Accomodating in our house in Plattling.

Day 2-5 - Plattling

Two full sessions with learning how to use new playspot, and working on some techniques towards World Cups. Finding strong assets and slowly thinking towards preparing the run.

Classic day will start with morning warm up, setting the goals and breakfest followed by early session at main feature and lunch. After lunch we will have a while to rest and prepare for afternoon session with some “flat-ground” training. In afternoon depending on participants second session might be taken in top feature (small hole good for technique training) or in the main feature followed by dinner. After dinner we will do video analysis and trick breakdowns.

If official training days get extended over the trip dates – coach will assist participants on team trainings on given time. We will also take a part in early/late open trainings to share the vibe of preparation to the event. Some sessions will still take place at the top hole.

Day 6 - Plattling

First session will be a mini-competition to provide opportunity of trying out test rides with formal judging. This test rides will help to find strong and weak sides of the rides and improve them over next sessions.

Day 7 Last Days moving around/Official trainings

Sessions on final day will be arranged earlier to make sure everybody who needs to leave makes most of the last day.

Camp finishes with afternoon session on the 25 May but we stay for the World Cups so if you need any help we will be there to assist you!
