This workbook was designed with the primary goal of enhancing coaching education across Canada for Sprint Racing Canoeing and Kayaking. Specifically, this workbook and its coaching course will work towards increasing the standardization and meaningfulness of coaching education across the country while striving to meet the education needs identified by coaches currently working in the field. The activities in the course have all been designed to help coaches develop the information and skills required to demonstrate the required coaching outcomes for their practical evaluations. The ELCC coach will leave the workshop with the tools to coach their first season. These tools include a series of ready to use practice plans, coaching tips for teaching them to children, a bank of activities, and a series of tools that will be required for their season such as templates for medical information and for running a parent meeting (see the Coach Toolbox section). The workshop will include two practice coaching sessions, wherein the facilitator will demonstrate how to coach an activity, and the coaches will have a chance to practice and to self-assess. During the second practice coaching session, children will be present. By doing this, coaches also get the chance to see and experience a variety of activities that are in the toolbox. The ELCC course and workbook use the problem-solving teaching methodology in order to further develop this skill in coaches, and so that coaches learn by doing.

  • Pacific Colonisation and Canoe Performance: Experiments in the Science of Sailing
    PACIFIC COLONISATION AND CANOE PERFORMANCE: EXPERIMENTS IN THE SCIENCE OF SAILING GEOFFREY IRWIN University of Auckland RICHARD G.J. FLAY University of Auckland The voyaging canoe was the primary artefact of Oceanic colonisation, but scarcity of direct evidence has led to uncertainty and debate about canoe sailing performance. In this paper we employ methods of aerodynamic and hydrodynamic analysis of sailing routinely used in naval architecture and yacht design, but rarely applied to questions of prehistory—so far. We discuss the history of Pacific sails and compare the performance of three different kinds of canoe hull representing simple and more developed forms, and we consider the implications for colonisation and later inter-island contact in Remote Oceania. Recent reviews of Lapita chronology suggest the initial settlement of Remote Oceania was not much before 1000 BC (Sheppard et al. 2015), and Tonga was reached not much more than a century later (Burley et al. 2012). After the long pause in West Polynesia the vast area of East Polynesia was settled between AD 900 and AD 1300 (Allen 2014, Dye 2015, Jacomb et al. 2014, Wilmshurst et al. 2011). Clearly canoes were able to transport founder populations to widely-scattered islands. In the case of New Zealand, modern Mäori trace their origins to several named canoes, genetic evidence indicates the founding population was substantial (Penney et al. 2002), and ancient DNA shows diversity of ancestral Mäori origins (Knapp et al. 2012). Debates about Pacific voyaging are perennial. Fifty years ago Andrew Sharp (1957, 1963) was sceptical about the ability of traditional navigators to find their way at sea and, more especially, to find their way back over long distances with sailing directions for others to follow.
