Winning the Race Between the Ears

In sailing, the variables are endless: the wind shifts, the tide turns, and your competitors are constantly jockeying for position. But the most volatile variable on the boat is your own mind.

Elite sailing isn't just about boat speed; it’s about decision-making under pressure. Whether you are a solo offshore sailor battling sleep deprivation or a dinghy helm fighting for a gap at the windward mark, I help you stay "locked in" when the conditions get loud. If you’ve ever felt your race unravel after one bad tactical call, it’s time to train your mental recovery.

​

Master your Mindset​

• The "Starting Box" Composure: Manage the high-arousal environment of the pre-start. Stay calm, keep your head out of the boat, and execute your plan with precision.

• Sustained Concentration: Maintain "peak focus" over long windward beats or multi-day offshore legs where mental fatigue leads to slow boat speed.

• Rapid Tactical Reset: Recover instantly from a "bad tack," a penalty, or a missed shift. Stop "racing in the past" and start winning the next leg.

• Communication & Crew Dynamics: For double-handed or keelboat teams, we optimize high-pressure communication to ensure the "brain of the boat" stays synchronized.

• Managing High-Stakes Anxiety: Turn the "heavy air" nerves or the pressure of a World Championship into a "challenge mindset" that drives performance rather than hesitation.
