What Can You Expect

You’ll work closely with the world-renowned coach Dennis Newton on a one-to-one basis, maximising your training productivity while avoiding common pitfalls such as overtraining, self-doubt and performance plateaus.

The ADP services can be accessed separately or combined as a plan. To take advantage of these services, athletes need to sign up for the athlete roster. Before joining, Dennis requires you to participate in at least one video call. This initial consultation is crucial to understanding your goals and defining what success looks like for you.

Dennis will then collaborate with you to create a personalised training plan that tracks your progress and benchmarks your skills and performance against the latest normative data. This enables targeted adjustments to your training and optimises your competition readiness. With extensive experience in performance analysis and research in freestyle paddlesport, Dennis brings a wealth of expertise from working with top athletes. His approach ensures that every aspect of your training is fine-tuned to help you achieve peak performance when it counts.

Together, we empower you to self-direct your development across three key areas:

• Self-awareness: Understanding your strengths, weaknesses, values, motivations, emotions and learning preferences.
• Resilience: Learning to effectively manage change, overcome challenges, and bounce back from adversity.
• Openness to learning: Embracing feedback, working on your weaknesses, and engaging in meaningful practice and learning.

This holistic approach ensures that we address your unique needs, covering technical, tactical, physical, and psychological aspects of high-performance freestyle.

Dennis is dedicated to creating an inclusive training environment, where everyone has the opportunity for personal growth and to achieve their full potential. His friendly and professional approach ensures that you feel valued, supported, and encouraged throughout your training journey.
