Stick regatta training

Advanced team coaching, the one-day sailing regatta

Section: experiential training. 3rd step (1 full day)
1 – day race: Cooking Cup or CaorleTrophy

The 1-day sailing regatta is the last step of the training course, following the “Experiential training in 2 days” and “Long-distance race training project”

Among the educational events of team coaching, this program is by far the more challenging path for the following reasons:

• stick regatta is very challenging because the performance is concentrated in a short space of time and, unlike the long race, gives little chance to correct any errors.
• The race requires considerable concentration by the crew and talent of teamwork. Coordination is not common.
• It Involves participation in a real regatta and not in one designed for the group: the team will respect the rules dictated by the RC, such as to continue the race even in bad weather (which, however, safeguard the security of participants and boats).
• the comparison is very competitive with external teams

The modalities of this process of team coaching will be discussed in a pre-event meeting to agree on targets to be achieved. Training activities will follow-up to analyze the data.
