Mentorship program - One on One
I remember when I started flying, right after I finish my initial training I realized, that it is quite hard to keep on progressing without anyone to ask for an advice. Paragliding can be hard and discouraging on your own. I have always looked out for mentors to progress in my flying. I can’t imagine a better way to progress. Without the mentors along the way I wouldn’t be half the pilot I am to day.
This is why I thought of offering mentorship to pilots that are eager to progress in the safest way possible. I want to offer this to anyone who is willing to learn and progress.
How will it work?
Video conference call.
Using video call platform we will come together to have a conversation. Any topic paragliding related. Before this call, you’ll fill out a form, which will only be read by me. This helps me to prepare for your call. To sign up send me an e-mail.
E-mails
Follow up on specific topic, flight analytics, goal setting or training exercise. We will keep in touch to keep your progress going.
Video analytics
You record it send it to me and I will go through it in detail to give you tips on how to improve. Ground handling, take-off’s, landings, in-flight, dynamic moves (SIV, ACRO).
Flight analytics
As you probably have seen on my YouTube channel I like to analyze flights and see where I can improve. I have done it from the very first XC flights. Now I want to help you to improve as well. Track log analytics is very useful to get better at flying distance, staying in the air or thermalling.
Theory
I always say that paragliding is 95% mind game. When we start flying it is all about physical control of the wing, it takes about 100% of or mental energy. The goal is to go from being worried about the wing to not to think about the wing. So we can free up our mind to be able to observe the surrounding air-mass and all the clues that help us fly longer, further and safer. There’s lots to learn.
Goal setting
Paragliding is a lifetime of learning and progressing. It is a massive undertaking. We need to structure our training to be able to progress safely. Not only that, it is also easy to get demotivated in-front of such a large challenge. This is why it is important to have a step by step plan, with smaller and bigger goals.
