ADDITIONAL WEBINARS
Keeping Courage Afloat
| Tuesday, December 14th / 4:30-6:00 PM Eastern Time |

On a windy day, a young sailor might freak out saying they’re “going to die.” At the Big Inter-Galactics Regatta, the elite adult sailor might internally think “I can’t do this,” while envisioning bad outcomes, but while also trying to put on a guise that everything is fine. Without pushing or coddling, sailing coaches can help with training skills that help dismantle disproportionate fear (overestimation of threat and underestimation of coping). In this 90-minute workshop integrating didactics and experiential activities, Dr. Tim Herzog will help sailing coaches learn four mind-body techniques, that they can begin using immediately, on themselves and with their sailors.
Techniques include:
- The drill-down technique;
- Mental imagery;
- HRV-informed breathing;and
- Inverted-U mapping.
Coaches will get practice applying the techniques themselves, in small groups, and the larger group will discuss take-aways. In the process, coaches will better understand what’s in their wheelhouse, when to consider referring, and where/how to connect with resources. Last but not least, participants will be granted one month of free access to a comprehensive online self-paced mental training platform.
Lessons Learned From the Tokyo Olympic Games & Rule Situations That Most Sailors Don’t Know…but Should.
| Wednesday, December 15th / 3:30–5:30 PM Eastern Time Registration Fee: $20 |

In this two hour session, Dave will present two topics. In Lessons Learned From the Tokyo Olympic Games, Dave, who was the Rules Advisor for the US Sailing Team at the 2021 Olympic Regatta, will share some insights into what he and the sailors & coaches learned from their experiences with the rules and protest/redress hearings that will be helpful to all serious racers and coaches.
In Rule Situations That Most Sailors Don’t Know…but Should, Dave will explain rules situations that catch most sailors and coaches off guard, but which can be race-determining. He will begin each situation with a Quiz, and will leave plenty of time for Q&A from the participants.
