Experience from inside the boat

The athlete you were shapes the coach you become.

Jaime does not coach from theory alone. He has lived the early starts, the pressure of selection and the fine margins of an international final.

Spanish champion in C1 1000 m, bronze medallist in C1 500 m, World University bronze and a top-ten U23 World Championship finish: results that built the athlete. High-performance roles in Seville and Madrid shaped the coach—analytical, direct and always close to the person inside the boat.

Before we start

Your questions.
Clear answers.

Everything you need to know about training with Jaime.

Is the coaching fully online?

Yes, we work 100% online. We are always looking for ways to improve and are open to other forms of collaboration.

What levels do you coach?

All levels. My experience as a professional athlete helps me understand the demands of elite preparation. I have also worked with a grassroots club and its canoe school, so I know how to help paddlers develop from the very beginning.

What equipment do I need?

Your own sports equipment and a GPS watch to record your training sessions.

How do I send my videos?

All communication, including sending videos, takes place by email:

jaimeintheriverpro@gmail.com
Is there a minimum commitment?

No. We only ask for an advance payment equivalent to one month as an enrolment payment. This amount is deducted at the end of the season or the agreed goal period.

Can I work with you from another country?

Of course. JaimeInTheRiver was created to share Spanish canoeing expertise with other countries, where finding a canoe coach can sometimes be difficult.

Which languages does Jaime work in?

Spanish and English.
