Putting Yourself Out There: By Ian Cieslak

In kayaking one of the most important things is just putting yourself out there. Lots of people definitely struggle with this simple thing.

Putting yourself out there requires lots of confidence and effort so something to make it a bit easier is peer pressure. An experience like Keeners involves coaches supplying you good peer pressure to do this. While peer pressure may make you nervous and feel vulnerable it’s good because typically the impact it has is positive. Now that you know an example of peer pressure and how it could affect you, you just need to do it. If you feel confident you can do something even in the slightest just try it. Obviously look at the risk involved for whatever that may be but if it’s low risk and high reward why not go do it. Putting yourself out there might make you improve as a kayaker but also as a person. It builds confidence which is great for your mindset when it comes to kayaking or pretty much anything.
