Scots take to the water for teambuilding challenge

With the EuroHockey Nations Championship in Belgium less than two weeks away, Scotland Senior Women Head Coach Gordon Shepherd took the opportunity to inject a bit of teambuilding into the players’ preparations with a squad day at Wilderness SUP.
Wilderness SUP are specialists in ‘Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP) Exploration and Adventure in Scotland’ and the company kindly donated the sessions at Cramond, Edinburgh yesterday free of charge to the national side.
The players were taken out onto the water to learn some new skills on the paddleboards and were also treated to some yoga and Tai Chi lessons. It wasn’t all plain sailing as the players were challenged to perform a number of different movements and stances.
Scotland striker Holly Cram said, “What a great day for some paddling, yoga and body movement skills at Cramond. It’s not every day you learn how to walk like a monkey, perform a downward dog on one leg and get two standing on top of a paddle board. Thank you to the Wilderness SUP team for a fantastic day.”
Defender Becky Merchant added, “We had a great afternoon with Wilderness SUP. The instructors were awesome and the Stand Up Paddle Boarding, yoga and Tai Chi all made for a brilliant afternoon’s team building.”
Wilderness SUP provide a number of packages and services, including corporate packages, adventure trips and retreats. Please visit the Wilderness SUP website for more information.
“An excellent day! Well organised, great instructors and some challenging aspects for us competitive folk!!!!” Cat Ralph.
“Something a bit different, challenging at times, but plenty of fun for everyone involved.” Morag McLellan.
