- Report all injuries promptly to the coach.
- Comply with all safety guidelines and procedures.
- Be respectful and considerate of all team members.
- Follow all commands from the coach and steer with urgency and focus. Your safety may be at stake.
- Conversations in the boat should only occur during breaks.
- Paddler-to-paddler coaching should be avoided. Recognize that coaching provided by one paddler to another, no matter how well intended, may not be helpful to the team.
- Provide feedback to the coach. This feedback should be provided privately, off the boat, unless there is an immediate health/safety issue or if the coach has requested immediate feedback.
- Handle disagreements and conflict directly and privately with the individual involved. If the problem persists, advise the coach.
