Coaching dag (Thursday May 18th)
Last year for the first time now again on the program WET coaching day, with this we will give the participants extra motivation to reach the goals and stick that new trick.
What does the coaching day look like?
The participants are divided into three groups of equivalent level:
- Beginners (participants with a feeling for board sports, who go for wakeboard boat)
- Intermediate (wakeboarders who want to land just that extra trick)
- Pro (stick the additional mobe in the competition)
Per group there is room for 3-5 participants, per group there is joint training under professional guidance, we will take the extra step together.
Per participant there will be place for at least 2 sessions of 15-20 minutes behind a professional wakeboard boat, by being able to do several sessions you can really take the extra step. Because you train together with other participants of an equivalent level, you will also learn a lot from this.
Training off the water is just as important as on the water, during the coaching day we will continue working on this in groups, everyone who does 1 session on Thursday will receive an additional speed date and a session of sport-specific training.
