ICF Mini Coaching Seminars – January Series 2026 

In January, we are launching a series of mini coaching seminars designed not only for wildwater canoeing coaches, but also for athletes, team leaders and enthusiasts from other canoeing disciplines. Every Wednesday evening, you can look forward to short but highly focused expert sessions delivered by two specialists in their field. 

The seminars will take place online via Microsoft Teams, every Wednesday from 19:00 to 20:00 CET. Each speaker will offer a 20-minute presentation, followed by a 10-minute discussion. Among our presenters are, for example, multiple World Champion and coach Marie Němcová (CZE), legendary coach and author of the Wildwater Manual Jamie Christie (GBR), and well-known athlete, coach and event organizer Vladi Panato (ITA). 

Participants who attend all four evenings will receive an official ICF certificate. 

  • We look forward to your participation and to starting the new year with inspiration and professional growth.
