Here's an example where some coaching has come in handy...

First off, I'm new to the spin boats and I didn't trap out very much prior to buying an F16..

So, with that being said, I was having trouble getting in and out on the Trapeze. I also knew that you are better off NOT using the T-handle to go out on the trapeze, but I had to use it EVERY single time I was going out. The coach was watching me go out and he suggested using the foot strap to give me a little balance as I scooted my butt over the side and to push off with the forward foot/leg. AFter that suggestion, NO more T-handle to go out. But, you do USE the T-handle to come in. As he was watching me go off the trapeze, he also suggested raising the T-handles so I could get a little more umph out of pulling myself up onto the boat. Those two suggestions alone made a big difference on getting in and out on the trapeze. And, without those suggestions, I'm confident that I would have kept doing the same old way and not be as efficient as I am now. Don't get me wrong, I still need the practice going in and out, but I feel a LOT better about it now.

So, in summary, I don't care who you are, EVERYONE could use some coaching.

Some of the top sailors in the WORLD don't go to a race without their coach....Kind of like Tennis players, golf, and all types of sports.

It always sounds expensive, but you either spend money by doing a lot of sailing to try to get it right or you spend the same amount by getting it right without the head aches.
