BE YOUR OWN SAILING COACH by Jon Emmett

We are all now leading increasingly busy lives, and although we always make time for the things that are really important to us it can be hard sometimes to make the opportunity to sail. At the time you have set aside there may be either too much or no wind, or the amount of time you can spend on the water may be restricted by finances. Perhaps you can not go sailing because of illness or injury, and maybe when you want to train there is no coach available!

However we can still improve our sailing skills, or at a minimum prevent their decline by thinking about them. We can visualise the techniques we use, so we can repeat them over and over without ever getting on the water. We can brush up on our knowledge of the technical aspect of the sport or just plan our next training session to make it both as efficient and effective as possible.  

To really improve your performance you need to address your weakest areas. Be Your Own Sailing Coach (published by Wiley) is the book for you. It shows you how to set your own overall sailing goals, and breaks them down into manageable - yet stretching - mini-goals.

This book is for all those busy people who still want to be successful sailors, and need to optimise every hour of every training session without a coach!
