Alex Scheifele- How to own your time at keeners

                    Whether you're a high level kayaker or someone who has just learned how to do a whitewater roll, you're fully capable of owning your time at the keener program. If you feel that you're already having the best time that you can at keeners or feel that my post is the same or lesser version of every other post that's great, just don't read this if not read on for my guide to owning your time at the keener program. Please be aware while reading this lovely post, that I've been here for just a day short of one week, but despite my lack of time here I have learned a fair amount.The most important thing that I've learned here is how to truly enjoy your time here.You're probably wondering how I couldn't be having an awesome time and to be honest I was, but I wasn't owning my time here as I should've been.Since then  I've been enjoying myself so much more  than at the beginning of the session and I didn't necessarily even change my  approach to day to day life at keeners. All I did to change was be more cautious of being relaxed, being confident and having fun.To begin your journey to making the most of your time here you need to take a deep breath and realize that your literally at one of the best summer camps and you have nothing to worry about. Step two, be confident, know your abilities and don't hold back, just go for it. If you're really unsure about doing a line then take a step back, don't be afraid to drill the basics, you'll be a lot more confident if you know your prepared.Step three have fun because that's why your here,you love kayaking.If you don't particularly like the task you're doing, then focus on the positives, find a part you love and if not make one.
