For performance-minded clubs, mental training is not a luxury, it is a required part of development. Anyone wanting to think and act like a professional cannot leave it out. Without that component, your development programme has a hole in it. There is a very practical argument on top: it fills the off-season. One training session […]
Your coaches are sailing experts, not psychologists. With anxious or blocked children, the tools are often missing. We supply exactly those, as a complement, not as competition.
Most of them leave out of frustration, fear or a sense of failure, not from lack of talent. A calm, self-efficacious head keeps young sailors in the sport. Less drop-out means a more stable youth section.
For the effect, not for the access. You will hear what is being worked on and how it is progressing — in the joint conversations, together with your child. What you will not receive are records of what your child has confided to us. That is not an obstruction, it is the condition for anything […]
At your level everyone knows the same adjustments: rake, sail tension, trim, the start line, shifts, laylines, manoeuvres in your sleep. One adjustment stays almost untouched. You know every screw on your boat. When did you last turn the one in your head?
Four typical doors: Injury or an enforced break. Your body is out; your head does not have to be. We bring you back stronger. A lean spell. Maybe the boat was never the problem. The race that counts, whether a championship, a qualifier or an offshore race. So your head is as ready on the […]
No. This is not an extra block, it is a layer that runs on top of what you are doing anyway. It works above all where nothing stood before: in winter, on bad-weather days, in the week between two regattas. Your rivals are ashore in winter too. It is decided on the water – but […]
Yes, that is the core of the idea. The mental methods of elite athletes do not belong to squad athletes alone.
Mid season, yes. Just before it, we have to be honest. If there are still weeks between the first conversation and the start, there is work to be done: on the competition routine, on handling expectation, on the plan for the bad day. If it is only days, nothing can be built. Mental abilities come […]
No. Your coach works on the boat and the technique, we work on the head. If you want us to speak to them, we will; otherwise we won’t.
