Setting 2009 Paddling Resolutions

Well, 2009 is here! If you haven't already sat back and reflected on 2008 now would be the time to do so. I'm a big proponent of goal setting. Most people only set goals in the financial or career aspects of their lives. I'm a believer that you should have goals for every important area of your life including your hobbies, interests, and extracurricular activities.

It may seem a bit strange to set paddling goals. But again, if paddling is an important part of your life you should always have goals that you are working toward throughout the year. What types of goals? Well I'm glad you asked. There are 5 paddling goals that I believe every kayaker and canoeist should have at all times. When one of them is achieved another should immediately take its place. This will ensure that you are always improving and making time to paddle which is an important part of your life.

If you haven't already set your paddling goals for 2009, don't waste another minute. Set your 5 paddling goals now and get on track to having your best year of canoeing and kayaking yet!
