Mental and Physical Fitness for Sailing By: Alan Beggs, John Derbyshire, John Whitmore 96 Pages Sailing has moved on from the days when flair was all you needed to win an international championship. Today it's really tough out there, and you need to reach the peak of your mental and physical potential if you are to be successful. This book shows you how. Part 1 and 2 describe the psychological strategies that world-class sailors use in training and competition. They are liberally illustrated with examples contributed by top sailors who use the techniques - and find them essential. Part 3 focuses on physical fitness, a topic which many sailors neglect at their peril. It is based on a non-technical and very practical approach, and is comprehensively illustrated with action photographs. |
