Mindset Toolbox for Sailing Coaches
30 April 2025
Mental skills for peak performance in sailing
Part of the SailFem Project, this empowering workshop introduced sailing coaches to effective tools and techniques for enhancing athlete performance through mindset and emotional management. Inspired by the Inner Game approach and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), the session focused on:
Cultivating focus, calmness, and self-confidence on and off the water
Managing pressure, stress, and performance anxiety
Using techniques such as visualization, anchoring, breathing, and reframing
Strengthening communication and trust between coaches and athletes
Creating personalized mindset toolkits to support each sailor’s growth
The workshop combined theory with hands-on group exercises, guiding participants to turn insights into practical actions that make a lasting impact.
