Yes, great checklist Dave! To help ensure that everyone sees it, I've pasted screenshots below.
A lot of great sailors, coaches, and athletes say to focus on the process, and the results take care of themselves. ForĀ example, Football coach Bill Walsh, winner of three Super Bowls, reminds us that standards come first and results follow:
"Champions behave like champions before they're champions; they have a winning standard of performance before they are winners."
One thing I'd add is that, to easily write down how well you followed your checklist, use theĀ
Granola.aiĀ app to dictateĀ your notes while driving home from the regatta. It
does a good job of turning my tired post-race ramblings into something coherent thatĀ I can review before theĀ next regatta. (It also works well for regatta write-ups, too.)
Thanks Dave!
