François-Pierre Poirier,B.Sc. Physical Activity
Six years of university training in physical activity sciences have allowed our coach to acquire important knowledge in biomechanics, exercise physiology, motor development, etc. Multiple skills linked to higher education in pedagogy therefore allow him to stand out from simple athlete-coaches. Indeed, being able to perform a difficult motor movement does not always mean that one understands the different technical aspects related to its success. A competent coach should also be able to analyze and dissect this complex movement to then be able to identify both the errors made and the corrections to be made. The considerable expertise obtained by teaching physical education therefore represents a considerable asset for our coach.
