We are thrilled to announce that Sid Sinfield has joined our team as the new Performance Manager. With a robust background spanning over 35 years in various paddling disciplines, Sid brings a wealth of experience and expertise to our organisation.
Sid has dedicated the majority of his career to Paddlesports, starting as an Outdoor Education teacher before serving as the National Development Officer at Canoe Wales from 2003 to 2008. Following his tenure there, Sid enhanced his leadership skills at Plas y Brenin, a renowned outdoor education center, where he was a Senior Instructor focused on Teaching and Learning for 12 years.
Sid's journey in paddlesport coaching continued as he took on the role of Coaching Pathway Lead for Paddle UK’s Worldclass Programme. His extensive experience isn’t just limited to the UK; Sid has also led paddling expeditions internationally, further enriching his understanding of the sport in diverse environments. His academic credentials are equally impressive, holding Master’s Degrees in Performance Coaching and Elite Performance, along with a Post Graduate Diploma in Coach Development.
As Sid steps into his new role, he is eager to apply his deep knowledge and dynamic coaching strategies to support and elevate the next generation of Welsh athletes. His commitment to developing competitive and non-competitive paddling skills among athletes is aligned with our goals of nurturing talent and achieving excellence in sports performance.
We are excited to see the impact of his leadership and expertise on our team and look forward to the successes that lie ahead with Sid at the helm.
