COACHING

We offer coaching from both onboard your boat or from a coach boat. Sailing as part of your crew is the ideal way to learn your set up and help you make improvements. If you and your team have a specific event in mind we can help design practices to get you ready and can assist during events to maximize your performance.

A typical 3-day coaching session leading up to an event might look like this:

• 3-4 Weeks prior to event-discuss specific goals, strengths and weaknesses with team. Develop plans for training session that focuses on achievable and measurable results.

• 1 Week prior-reaffirm training goals and make specific plans for session.

• Day before-Check all equipment in place, boats, sails ready to go. Review weather for next day, pre-brief meeting time and dock out time.

• 1st day morning- pre-brief, review plan of day, goals for day, review any drills with all personnel. Ensure radio comms are set. Review weather for day and following days. Adjust training schedule per weather.

• 1st day after docking-debrief. Quick review of what was accomplished with eye to what to work on for tomorrow.

• 2nd day pre-brief—Longer than day 1. Review video and photos of sails and set ups prior to sailing. Review plan of day.

• 2nd day debrief—Review observations from coach boat re: drills and training session and from on race boats.

• 3rd day pre-brief—Review photos and video of previous day. Today will either be an actual race day or we will organize and run some practice races.

• 3rd day de-debrief—Review racing results and execution with eye to finding tangible and actionable things to be improved.

• Post event—Chris will wrap up with notes and documentation of session that can be archived to later review and to build on for future training.
