<p class=MsoNormal>It’s up to you to decide whether or not to become a
coach, coaching will enhance your own understanding of paddle sport, you may
become a better paddler because of it. Some people try and decide it’s
not for them, others will find that it opens up the sport and allows them
access to information and experiences that would not normally become available.
If you’re unsure speak to someone about it.<o:p></o:p></p>
