A Swot Analysis of the Construction of a National Junior Paddleboard Instructor Training Course

Abstract

The purpose of this review is to analyse the current situation of junior pad-dleboard instructor training courses in China, and to explore their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges, in order to promote the stan-dardised development of instructors, raise awareness of water sports safe-ty, and encourage the consumption of fitness and sports tourism for all. This study used questionnaire data from 103 junior coaches to comprehensively assess the current situation of paddleboard coaches in China. The results of the study show that the strengths of China's paddleboard instructor train-ing courses lie in the abundance of university resources, frequent races and a relatively complete curriculum system; the weaknesses lie in the incom-plete curriculum system, inadequate safety services, small market capacity and unclear policy on water development. Opportunities lie in national sup-port for the development of outdoor sports, and threats are mainly the lack of training funds. The conclusion is that there is still much room for im-provement in China's paddleboard instructor training courses, and exces-sive competition should be avoided, focusing on experience, consumption and cultural promotion, and promoting the development of sports tourism and the industrial chain. It is recommended to enrich the course content, provide career development channels, strengthen instructor training, and establish a systematic and efficient instructor training mechanism
