Effect on Emotions
When I started, it was very difficult. But as the years passed, I understood what I needed to do.

I feel that during recent years I am more positive, I have a more positive way of thinking.


Thoughts on Breathing
Breathing is very important in Elite Strategies For Peak Performance.

For our sport of rowing, you need to breathe a lot, and breath is a very important factor.

You must have control of your breath. You have to practice it, so you have to learn how to breathe.

Bullying Story
When young children start rowing they have to learn to be part of a team. Some children are sure about themselves and can stand on their foot (have confidence). They can be part of a team, but the others you have to put in a lot of effort to make them part of your team. Some children have difficulty getting involved.

I tried to be the person who introduces this team spirit and help the children get to know the names of the other athletes.

Some people wanted to feel safe where they are (stay in their comfort zone). So, if you can boost them a little bit, I feel that then they can develop confidence. They can achieve this from my program, Elite Strategies For Peak Performance.
