Welcome to Rock River Coaching

Rock River Coaching has a simple goal: To provide high quality, individualised training to help you realise your goals and adventures.

Our Philosophy

We aim to help people become independent participants in adventure sport, Instructors, Coaches and Leaders.

Risk is part of life and adventure sports. It is impossible to remove all risk from adventure sports, nor would it be desirable. We aim to give people the skills, knowledge and understanding to make good decisions that maximise challenge and enjoyment whilst managing the risks to ourselves and others.

Alongside this we want to share our passion and respect for the fantastically varied environments that are our playground.
