Why the Forge System works
Uncover Our Story
Paddle Forge Athletics was built from years of coaching, testing, and refining what truly makes a paddler powerful. What started as a search for better technique became a full torque‑based system shaped by real milestones — from early land‑based rotational training, to on‑water mechanics breakthroughs, to the high‑speed work that completed the Forge System.Every athlete, every challenge, and every season added heat and pressure to the process. The result is a coaching method built for paddlers who want more than generic training — a system forged through experience, grounded in biomechanics, and designed to build strength, control, and speed with intention.
We don’t just coach athletes.
We forge paddlers.
Meet The Coach
Rachael is a technical dragon boat coach specializing in biomechanics, torque mechanics, and athlete development. She built the Golden Koi Dragon Boat Team from the ground up — starting with no resources, no boat, and no established roster — and led it to become a competitive, medal‑winning team through structure, innovation, and relentless standards.
Her coaching background spans both national and international environments, including training athletes who have competed — and won — on global stages such as Naha Haarii. She’s developed rotational‑strength programs, refined on‑water stroke mechanics, and created the torque‑based systems that evolved into Hydro, Flow, and Aero Torque.
Professional, detail‑driven, and fiercely committed to athlete growth, Rachael brings a methodical, biomechanics‑focused approach to every session — helping paddlers train smarter, move better, and perform with purpose.
