Ruth Oliver qualifies as RYA level 2 Racing Coach

Posted: Wednesday, 27 June, 2018

Congratulations to Ruth Oliver, WYC's Training Administrator and RYA Onboard Officer, on becoming a RYA level 2 Racing Coach. Having gained a RYA SE area bursary, Ruth successfully completed the course at Datchet. The course to become a L2 Racing Coach is an intense 2-3 days looking at the theory of coaching and applying it in a practical series of on the water exercises. Each candidate has to run complete sessions including a briefing, on the water exercises with feedback and a debrief. As a qualified Race Coach Ruth will now be able to deliver and award Start, Intermediate and Advanced Racing as appropriate, designed for adults or youth, providing an extra and most valuable dimension to the club's training programme. Ruth is currently away enjoying a well deserved break from the whirl of courses, cadet and improver sessions, which have become so much part of club activity. Well done Ruth!
