I came across the Learning Zone Model by Senninger back in 2014 as I was researching how to become a better kayaking coach. The coaching models I was taught helped to build my foundation in coaching theory but I wanted to go beyond those basic models. As I looked into the topic, I realised that the models I was exposed to were fairly old as they were popularized in the 80s and 90s. What I liked about the Learning Zone Model by Senninger was that he talked about the Comfort, Learning and Panic Zones and how it varies in each individual. However, I think the greatest aha! moment for me was when I read about how we should not push people too hard because we never know where each individual's comfort and learning zone ends and where their panic zone begins.
