Kāpiti vaulters had their first specialist coaching session with Quentin Jabet, the current FEI Individual Male World Champion Vaulter.
The Kiwi Team learnt a huge amount and thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to work with one of the sport’s best. I’ve included a photo below from today’s session.
As part of the training, the athletes used the Racewood Equine Simulator, which we have on loan for one more week – we are very grateful that Helge at SignCraftKāpiti has provided a space for us to store and use the Racewood. Access to the Racewood has been transformative for our vaulters, and we’re currently fundraising to purchase one for the club. We’ve already raised more than $20,000 towards the $37,000 cost.
We’ve recently put together a short video explaining the difference the simulator has made for our athletes. If you’re interested, you can view it here (the video is to large to send):
