Winner of the Young Coach of The Year award 2018 was Patrick Buchanan.
Patrick has worked tirelessly with both Belfast Kayak Academy and the CANI junior hubs, and through his infectious enthusiasm and great communication skills has inspired many of his peers to achieve greater levels of skill and continued great results in competition.
In addition, Patrick’s commitment to training has continued to improve his own – already high – paddling standards, and it is no wonder that both BKA and CANI are proud to have him on their teams!
Congratulations, Patrick, on your well deserved award.
