French Paragliding Team process vs. our own (blog in english)
If the British were able to finance a similar support and coaching system along the lines of the French, Swiss and Germans, we would stand a better chance of introducing new pilots and potential world champions into our own country's competition paragliding.
Who is our Team Leader?
Where and who is our Competition Coach?
Which person are we wanting to impress both in terms of ability and enthusiasm, to gun for team selection?
I have always been a supporter of team spirit. My convictions are that working together is more productive and more rewarding than individual prowess.
Sure, it's great to win as an individual, but lest we forget that Competition Paragliding is a sport in which you can only come first by using and extracting the best of your competitors' abilities and tactics combined with your own.
Isn't that team work in itself?
GB as a small country and has some great pilots out there. Let's get together, share and reel them in.

For Sure, I couldn't agree more, have just returned from an excellent SIV course at Flyeo in Annecy, Charles Cazaux and Lucas Bernardin were also taking SIV instruction from Fabien and from conversations with them it seems that they do some form of SIV training twice a year (Charles was practising dynamic stalls and spins on an Enzo - Lucas was doing asymetric sats on an F Grav). Also Lucas was discussing conversations with the team psychologist, very interesting and, it seems to me, a highly professional approach.
ReplyDeleteNice information. Paragliding in Nepal is one of the best place for paragliding.
