What can be gained by working with the program?

• Get better results

• Be efficient with the training time

• See clearly what training aspects that are important for a freeflyer

• Get a ”helicopter” view of your flying

• See week points in your flying

• Choose the right level of your training and competition flying

My thought is that the four different

trainingaspects can be thought of as

pieces of wood that makes a barrel

If one part of wood is too small you can not fill the barrel all the way up to the top

The contents inside the barrel is of course success !

Mindmaps!

Positive things with the mindmap

• All important aspects of the preparations and training in one picture

• A living document that can grow• Easy to make a zoom over a specific

training aspect that you like to work with • Easy make more detailed mindmaps,

checklists and training excersises

Mental Preparations

If you belive in it, do it !

One person says; ”This is impossible to do !”

This person shouldn’t disturbe the person who is already doing it !

Mentoring - the Future

To help, and see, someone get better and better in the sport is a great reward, a beautiful thing!

Become a Mentor!

The Mentor – Pupil relationship is always rewarding for both parties.
