Why Keener coaches are the best- by Joe Bowers

I learned from my first week at Keeners that the coaches are the best. Steve-O, Clay, and James have helped me become a much better kayaker since I got here. These ten reasons are why all three of these coaches are the best.

1. The coaches push you to accomplish whatever goals that you have by making you write down what you want to achieve on and off the water.
2. Taking the time to help you personally do a trick or just improve your paddle tricks or your surfing technique.
3. The coaches here have the best attitudes you will ever see from anybody they always are smiling and having fun.
4. These coaches bring all the keeners closer together which makes it feel like we are a family for three weeks which is great!
5. We wake up at 7:45 to some sort of morning activity whether it's yoga or soccer it's just always something fun to wake up to.
6. They all have a ton of experience and wisdom that they want to share with everybody as long as you want to hear it and want to learn and try something new.
7. They encourage every keener to try a new line or something that might scare them at least one time that day or at least think about it.
8. They don't make you do anything that you are not comfortable with all you have to do is let a coach know that you don't want to do whatever it is we are doing and they will find an alternate thing for you to do.
9. The coaches here actually care about every single keener here and they help you accomplish any dream that you set for yourself.
10. The coaches here encourage failure because now you know what not to do and what you need to fix so you can execute that trick right.
