-Steve has been such a great coach for Emma over the last two years. ​ He’s been patient with her as she started learning to paddle, he’s encouraged her and helped her develop at her own pace, and helped her discover that she had skills that she didn’t knew she possessed (and certainly I had no clue, either). ​ When Emma wanted to paddle a superlancer at nationals last year, he was super supportive of her being comfortable in the boat she wanted to paddle in, and helping her grow at a pace that worked for who she is, even if she was in the slowest boat.+Steve has been such a great coach for Emma over the last two years.

 In a world that is pushing kids to be the best they can be RIGHT NOW, I’m grateful we’ve got a coach like Steve who’s cultivating life-long lovers of paddling who also happen to post incredible times at nationals. In a world that is pushing kids to be the best they can be RIGHT NOW, I’m grateful we’ve got a coach like Steve who’s cultivating life-long lovers of paddling who also happen to post incredible times at nationals.
  
-About a month ago I saw Emma get put in a K-2 with a kid who was brand new to paddling, in order to help this new kid learn how to feel comfortable on the water. ​ In a world that would push Emma to think only of herself and getting prepped for nationals, I pulled Steve aside and thanked him for making sure Emma kept an eye on the new kids even while she was preparing for nationals. ​ This isn’t just about Emma, this is about how her excellence integrates into a much larger community, and I’m so grateful that Emma has a coach like Steve who cares about who these kids are becoming on the way to where they’re going.+About a month ago I saw Emma get put in a K-2 with a kid who was brand new to paddling, in order to help this new kid learn how to feel comfortable on the water.

 Steve and Sharon have sacrificed much more than I’m aware of, and I’m very aware that I’m getting to go to Prague to watch my daughter race because of their sacrifice, dedication, care and passion for these Bellingham kids. Steve and Sharon have sacrificed much more than I’m aware of, and I’m very aware that I’m getting to go to Prague to watch my daughter race because of their sacrifice, dedication, care and passion for these Bellingham kids.

-There are good coaches and there are a few bad coaches. I wish all parents understood the sacrifices so many good coaches make in their lives for their athletes... but when you have an extraordinary coach, you see amazing things happen to young athletes. Steve seems to be the extraordinary kind, the kind that lets kids understand excellence. Best of luck in Prague, all!+There are good coaches and there are a few bad coaches.

 +Congratulations to Sierra Noskof and Neha Harle, Independent sprint flat-water youth kayakers from Bellingham, that have been named to Team USA for the 2017 Olympic Hopes Regatta ( OHR), Recice, Czech Republic, next month. Sierra and Neha, who are trained with Dan Baharav, competed at the USA sprint c/k Nationals in Florida this last weekend. They made all their age group finals, collected few medals, had fun, and are elated to represent USA in the OHR which is actually the World youth 15-17 years old Championships. Two other young kayakers, Elena Wolgamot and Emma McCoy from Bellingham were named to Team USA as well. This is incredible, only 5 years after founding the BCKST youth flat-water olympic style kayak program that our city young kayakers are reaching outstanding international level !!  Best of time at OHR !!
