NAME OF COACH
Tamsyn McConchie (GB)
MEMORABLE SPORTING ACHIEVEMENT

SPORTING PHILOSOPHY/ MOTTO
“There's always a new way to paddle a river.” This was taught to me by a very close friend, even on a river that you've paddled a thousand times, there is always a trick, move, eddy you haven't tried making. You just need to look at the rapids with a new frame of mind.
AMBITIONS
To help develop freestyle into a modern era of cane and kayak sports. To try and help not only run big competitions but make them as paddle focused as I can. To make sure that it is the best athletes being recognised as well as our newest athletes getting the most out of the event as they can.
