The writer starts with mental training as hot topic and lots of people writing about it. But which makes you and the book special is that no one is a rowing coach, except you. And you're specific goal of integrating mental training in the overall training program. Then he introduces you with reference to a chapter in 'Rowing Faster' and as coach of several universities and Rowing Canada. In the eye-opener part het writes about the practice in the Netherlands and on starting mental training when issues appear or just 'moments' before the regattas. Why, he askes, do we train technique and physics the whole year and the mental part not? He describes you're approach as very ambitious and demanding for coach and rower. But challenges every coach who wants to reflect on his acting to read your book; as it is a refrenshingly different approach to the metier of coaching, yearplanning and integration of all training types.
with warm regards, AnnemarieRating:
