Commonly dragon boat crews will spend over 50% of their overall crew budget on regattas; while the goal is to achieve maximum performance in just 1 primary season-ending regatta. We are proposing that a small portion of that budget should be allocated towards a 1 Day Dragon Boat Training Camp which is 100% guaranteed to enhance individual and team skills.
I am a major proponent of athlete development and performance maximization, as a coach there is no greater satisfaction than witnessing an athletes dramatic performance enhancement throughout a season. Some other common themes I have witnessed as a dragon boat coach are: crew attendance is maximized at regattas and 90% of the time spent at a regatta is on shore. Therefore Alkame has designed a program that will provide both crews and individuals with a substantially more valuable performance enhancement tool than a ‘prep regatta’. The program will feature 90% active training and performance feedback from a professional certified coach within the same time frame and financial output as a standard regatta.
