Train deliberately
Volume isn't the goal — quality of work is. Every drill has an intention. Every practice has a focus badge the coach watches for.
The athletic spine of the academy. The 8-week Academy Season is where every paddler starts — Mon–Thu coached practices, 99 coach-witnessed badges, ending in a podium race day. Race Team is the elite tier above.
The sport side of the academy. ACA-progression stroke mechanics held under race-pace heart rate. USA-SUP-sanctioned competition with race entries handled. Strava-logged training that the next coach reads. Built around the Academy Season at Tempe Town Lake and the elite Race Team that ladders up from it.
Volume isn't the goal — quality of work is. Every drill has an intention. Every practice has a focus badge the coach watches for.
Respect the line. Respect the call. Respect the paddler on your right. Cheating shortcuts you out of the only thing competition was teaching you.
Recovery is part of the work, not the absence of it. Sleep, fuel, mobility, breath. Athletes who don't recover deliberately plateau.
