Eisert is an experienced coach who brings a lifetime of watersports experience to the program, including competing at the national and international levels in flatwater sprint Olympic kayak, outrigger and rowing.&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n\\u201cThese kids are off-the-chart amazing,\\u201d says Eisert. \\u201cEvery one is a solid athlete with a great personality and none of them have a clue about how good they really could be.\\u201d&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nEvery child selected for the program is a local paddler chosen based on his or her attitude, dedication, ability and willingness to learn. Each paddler also agreed to maintain a scholastic standard in addition to the training schedule set forth by Eisert.
