SAILING GAMES.By Yachting New Zealand. Spiral binding and waterproof pages, 150mm x 210mm, 48 pages, full colour illustrations.
Whether training to win or just sailing with friends, games are a great way to add variety to your sessions. As coaches and sailors we tire of constant and repetitive drills. It can be easy to lose sight of the importance of keeping things FUN! Games enhance skills and techniques while keeping sessions fun and often sailors will learn and develop skills without even realising it.
Coaches are now recognising that well designed games are just as effective as drills and can be the essence of a training programme rather than just a reward at the end of a training programme.
If you have just started sailing or you're a national champion, this book is for you. If you are a coach running training sessions, this book is for you. If you are a parent looking to have fun with your kids out on the water, this book is for you.
