This workbook was designed with the primary goal of enhancing coaching education across Canada for Marathon 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 – Marathon 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 entry level paddlers, a bank of activities, and a series of tools that will be required for their season such as templates for medical information and an EAP plan (see the Coach Toolbox section). 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.
