Hello! Those who are currently going through the Level 2 course. What night of the week works best for you for a call? It would be either 6 or 7 PM ET. Let us know what works via comments as well, so we can schedule a time that works the best. Paddles Up!

1️⃣ How would you handle someone drifting into your lane during a race? 2️⃣ What would you do if your dragon head falls off before the race vs during the race? 3️⃣ Imagine you have right of way on a 2K turn but the boat next to you refuses to give way. What would you do? #level2

@Joann Fegley and I are so excited to bring you this mini-summit on June 28. Here's the schedule (all times given are Eastern/New York time, and all sessions are 50 minutes long): 10:30am - Welcome + Kickoff We'll go over the day's events, the bonuses we're offering live attendees, and do a little DB networking. 11am - Steering: What You Don't Know Can Hurt You Why take a certification course when you can go to a weekend clinic or your coach can teach you? Because it doesn't adequately prepare you for having 22 lives in your hands, that's why. Plus new regulations are coming down the pike, so you need to be ready. 12 noon - Level Up: From Club Paddler to National Team What does it take to make an elite team? In this session you'll learn about off-water training, camps + clinics to get on your radar, how to filter the good info from the bad, how to be adaptable, and how to get ready for team tryouts. Megan Roberts, former Team USA paddler and 3-time Team USA Premier Women's coach, will join us for this discussion. 1pm - Mobility for Dragon Boat Athletes The incredible @Anne Baker will get our bodies moving and lead us through some mobility work and give us tips on how to incorporate this into our training regimens for continued success. [Learn about Anne and her work here.] 2pm - Coaching Basics for New Coaches Many clubs start because someone got bitten by the bug at a charity festival, but then struggle with how and what to teach. Others are growing rapidly and need to get coaches trained up fast. In this session we'll get you started on the right foot and give you a plan for action. 3pm - The Recruiting Playbook Getting new folks to join can be harrrrd. But the Schuylkill Dragons in Philly created a killer mechanism and Joann, longtime club head coach, will share the playbook. 4pm - The Art of Video Review Video review is one of the fastest ways to help paddlers improve their technique. As a coach, what you can see from the side is enlightening, and unlike anything you can see from the back (if you coach from the steering platform) or the front (if you coach from the drum seat). In this session we'll break down everything from how to capture video to how to structure a review session.
