In some ways this is no different to my thinking as an elite sportsman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFaced with the current scenario you have to pick your battles and realise you can only fight what you can deal with. It is important to maintain confidence in the group and set realistic targets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tim admits, however, it is his good fortune at Canoe Racing NZ he has a team around him that adopts a similar mindset led by CEO Tom Ashley, the 2008 Beijing Olympic windsurfing gold medallist, and a coaching programme overseen by three-time Halberg Award winning Coach of the Year Gordon Walker.<\/p>\n<p>From late-February the coronavirus emerged as a serious global issue and CRNZ were quick to react to potential issues which could arise. In anticipation of a level four lockdown, gym equipment was sourced from HPSNZ including kayak ergometers for Max Brown and Kurtis Imrie \u2013 the two Kiwis who qualified a men\u2019s K2 1000m boat for the Tokyo Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, CRNZ, who had purchased gym equipment for the long-term use of the squad expedited the process to ensure the four remaining men\u2019s squad members \u2013 Zach Ferkins, Hamish Legarth, Ben Duffy and Ashton Reiser \u2013 had the equipment in time for lockdown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had to remember the health of the nation was of the utmost importance,\u201d explains Tim, who was appointed a CRNZ coach in December. \u201cTo follow the rules and the government advice should always come first but we also shouldn\u2019t neglect the fact that the guys in the squad have trained for many years and that we should not take a backward step. We can still progress in the current situation but in a different way.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Tim has been hugely impressed by the ingenuity shown by the paddlers during lockdown. Hamish Legarth, a 2019 World Cup paddler of the Hawkes Bay Kayak Club, has made his own arm grinder out of a bike and a wheelbarrow, which sits in the garage of his bubble he shares with two primary school teachers in Cambridge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was something suggested to be by Andrew Keene, our strength and conditioning coach, and once I figured out what I needed to do, it didn\u2019t take too long to make,\u201d adds Hamish, a civil engineering student at Waikato University. \u201cThe arm grinder has been very useful because my legs have taken a beating from the extra cycling and running I\u2019ve been doing. It was a relief to do some exercises without having to use my legs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Max Brown, who alongside Kurtis Imrie reached the A Final of the K2 1000m at the 2019 ICF World Cup event in Poznan, the biggest challenge was coping with the news the 2020 Tokyo Olympics had been postponed for a year.<\/p>\n<p>Having worked hard to put himself on the verge of a possible debut Olympic appearance, the 25-year-old who hails from Whanganui struggled initially to cope with the postponement.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had a couple of days when I felt lost and confused,\u201d admits Max. \u201cBut then I had a think, accepted the decision and my motivation and drive returned.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce I had clarity around what I should be doing for the next month (in terms of training), that\u2019s when I could once again re-focus on what I needed to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tim admits one of the biggest challenges as a coach he faces is \u201callaying some of the fears\u201d athletes might have in terms of losing fitness.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The fact certain athletes may not have access to the same equipment also needs to be managed but the four-time Olympian says he has used the period in lockdown to make potential gains.<\/p>\n<p>Despite not all six paddlers having access to all the gym equipment they would typically have \u2013 Tim says an effective gym programme has been devised. Communicating \u201cseveral times a day\u201d with the paddlers Tim adds of the gym work: \u201cThe quality of what we are doing in terms of capacity and the robustness has been really good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kurtis, Max and Zach Ferkins all have access to a kayak erg \u2013 which while generating a different feel to being on the water also allows for some technical benefits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a very different piece of equipment to move (than a kayak) because you are pulling cables rather than a boat through water,\u201d adds Max. \u201cBut when paddling the erg you can set up a mirror and this has been a good opportunity to work on technique.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been working on my hand height when I exit out of the water and getting a bit more hip drive and rotation through the hips.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The squad have all been working on building their aerobic capacity with lengthy bike rides on the static bikes now on the agenda. For some this has been a gruelling assignment but Tim believes their overall conditioning has put them in a good place as the squad returned to the water on an alert level 3 status last week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think the squad have lost any overall aerobic fitness, in fact they\u2019ve probably gained general cardiovascular fitness during lockdown,\u201d explains Tim. \u201cThey may have lost a little bit of feel on the water but that will come back quickly and they\u2019ve probably benefited from that extra gym work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Very aware of the restrictions around an alert level 3, Tim has introduced staggered start times for on water training and the paddlers are allocated separate areas on the pontoon for on and off water access.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Tim is abiding for the protocols of no face to face training, but he is establishing a picture of their on water training through GPS and Garmin watches uploaded on to Training Peaks.<\/p>\n<p>Both Hamish and Max are excited to once again hit Lake Karapiro and while both are becoming gradually accustomed to life on the water, Tim insists the New Zealand kayak squad as a collective have coped remarkably well with their lockdown experience<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ve displayed a really good attitude throughout,\u201d says Tim. \u201cThe squad understand what they are doing, they\u2019ve been good communicators and, given the circumstances, they\u2019ve done a great job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>By Steve Landells<\/i><i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Pic credit: Hamish Legarth (Vera Bucsu)<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u201cglass half-full\u201d attitude adopted by Canoe Racing NZ coach Tim Brabants has enabled the men\u2019s kayak squad he guides to be on the front foot as the six-strong group returned to the water last week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":3127,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Adapting to change - CRNZ - Sprint, Surf Ski &amp; Marathon<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Canoe Sprint, Surf Ski &amp; Marathon.
