"Jonathan was able to succinctly identify the changes I needed to make to have a more powerful stroke with less energy expended. His understanding of how the body works is great and aids in his coaching. The back and forth conversations have really helped me to not only mentally understand the changes that would benefit me, but physically incorporate those changes. I can’t wait for him to review my next video!"

"Such an incredible help, and a great experience overall! I have been paddling for 4 years, and learned all I know from watching youtube, and picking up conversations from fellow paddlers in Casco Bay. I desperately wanted to improve my skills as I've been participating in races for the past year. Reading articles online, and watching videos doesn't even come close to the personal review that I received from Jonathan. Very honest feedback, thorough advice, and longer than expected follow-up. The advice I received was tailored to my skills perfectly. Jonathan's understanding of body mechanics was apparent, and it allowed him to describe techniques to me in a way that I was easily able to apply to my stroke and stance. My confidence and speed improved significantly after several phone conversations. It felt like he really cared that I succeed, and he continues to this day (5 months post review) to check in on me and give me tips. Money well spent!"

"Jonathan’s input took my paddling to the next level. After putting the time and miles in to training I wasn't seeing the improved times that I wanted. Jonathan's input was respectful, direct and highly effective. With his suggestions my times improved 5 to 7 % within 2 weeks."

"Jonathan's quest for staying current with proper technique and his understanding of bio mechanics is unique. If you want to improve and excel look no further."
