Hi, I'm Jordan.
and I am the Director and Founder of JJ Coaching.
​
I created JJ Coaching to focus on running courses and trips based in the United Kingdom, focusing on the community in the South West. The goal of all the courses is to help others become qualified, safe and feel confident on our waters or in our mountains/hills. I designed the guided trips to cater to people with all manner of experiences. Whether you are a first time paddler/hiker/climber or you are experienced and looking to see new places or experience new things, then these trips are for you.
How it all began..
My love for the outdoors started when I was a young boy, spending most of my free time within the scout movement, navigating and wild camping around Dartmoor.
I spent most sunny days climbing on the Cornish sea cliffs with my dad and once I was 10, I was able to join the St Austell Canoe Club in Cornwall and haven’t stopped paddling canoes and kayaks since.
Fast forward, I now have over 10 years experience in the Outdoor Industry in countries all over the world. I have over 5 Summer seasons worth of experience instructing and teaching at Multi-Activity Centres around the UK, 4 seasons worth of experience guiding and running multi day tours around the world.
Over the 10 years, I have also spent periods of time freelancing, running courses and trips around the UK. I have also spent most of my spare time volunteer instructing in the scouting movement. ​​
I have now become qualified in a manner of internationally recognised qualifications. I am a British Canoed (BC) qualified White Water and Sea Kayaking Coach, and also a BC Canoe Leader. I am a Mountain Training England (MTE) Mountain Leader, Rock Climbing Instructor and Climbing Wall Development Instructor.
​
My focus now is JJ Coaching, putting all my experience and qualifications into helping others become confident, safe and qualified in our mountains and on our waters and hopefully inspire others to pursue a journey in the outdoors.
