On the Road - July: Lessons from coaching
Hi guys
I try to continually remind the younger athletes i work with, that it's OK to find a balance in their lives; that sailing and professional athletics sometimes isn't the "be and end all"...Easier said than done!
Sustainability is something a lot of top athletes struggle with - you regularly hear of people burning out, both physical and mentally.
And its a lesson hard learnt. I've learnt not to question the process too much, I trust in myself and the great team around me - over the last few months training has been fantastic, but so has other aspects of my life and professional development. By refocussing certain areas of life and applying a similar approach as my sailing career, i've been able to find a great balance.
I'm really please with my progress right now, both on and off the water - long may it continue!
