Winning Ways Kayak Coaching

"I thought I could train by myself but after being trained by a coach, I have found that my speed and endurance has improved. Having organized training sessions, enables me to train smarter, in less time and work on different facets such as cardio, strength/power, speed, endurance which enable me to perform much better than previously."
Les Howard

"I commenced kayaking as a complete novice in 2006. Under Lyle’s coaching I have a better understanding of technique, nutrition and training programs. In less than 3 years I have achieved many goals, including setting 2 Hawkesbury Classic records. I happily recommend his coaching to anyone wanting to improve."

"I have been training with Lyle Mead for the last 12 months and thoroughly recommend his services. He has taken me from a paddler that struggled to complete 5km non stop to someone that competed in the 2008 Hawkesbury Classic (being 111km) and achieved third place in my division and 16th single paddler across the line. Also a State Gold Medal in the 200m K2 sprints.

Lyle structures his sessions to achieve personal maximum limits, which are hard but enjoyable. He has proven to me to be not only a role model to myself but also to the sport of kayaking due to his everyday commitment with his own personal training and those around him. His support is encouraging and if you were to engage his services you will not be disappointed."
Clayton Norman

"The results I have achieved reflect Lyle Mead’s coaching ability. I have paddled competitively since October 2006 and decided in August 2008 to take my paddling career to another level. Knowing that improvement doesn’t just happen I engaged Lyle as my coach and with his application of sports science and a dedicated program to suit my personal requirements, I accredit my success to date to his coaching methods ."
