COACHING FOR SAILORS
Coaching Overview
- Would you like to learn a proven method for better results on the race course?
- Is it your dream to go to the Olympics, to win a Worlds, a Nationals, or your club championship?
- Do you spend money on new sails, new bottom job, better electronics, and are still disappointed in your race results?
- Are you interested in getting full enjoyment out of your racing experience?
- Is finding a crew a chore week after week?
- Do you want to win more races?
If you answered yes to any of the above question we will design a program that can help you achieve your goals.
Be it the club championship, regional regatta, Nationals, Worlds, Olympic trials, short handed sailing. We have proven programs in all areas of competitive sailing to raise your level and achieve your goals.
We all need coaches/mentors in life to push us, motivate us, and help us achieve our goals.
We have a very successful track record with our past clients.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
"Paul is a HUGE asset for our program. Not only has he helped me jump into a totally new boat, and quickly get up to speed on the technical aspects of it, but he's always waiting for my next question with an easy to understand answer. He has a great sense of humor and perspective on sailboat racing - after all, this is about having intense fun, as well as doing your best, isn't it? He grasps the big picture, he understands the nuances, and he's very careful to not overwhelm with all his feedback, but rather dole it out at a pace you can digest. Paul is very mission focused, so from the minute you start working together there is this sense that all the pieces are building towards the desired outcome. How incredible is that to have for your team?" -Margaret Podlich, US Sailing Team
“I had a nice clean start and worked my way out of Narragansett Bay looking like I knew what I was doing. Although I spent most of the last five weeks in the area, it was the time spent on and off the water with Paul Cronin of PC Sailing that largely contributed to that success. Paul is a wizard at reading wind on the water – he sees things that you and I simply don’t see and he has a keen understanding of how to take advantage of the tactical opportunities presented as the wind and water flow in and out of the bay. I picked up just enough from Paul to get it mostly right this time.” -Kip Stone, Owen/Clarke Open 50 "ArtForms", at the start of the Bermuda 1-2 (single handed leg), June 2005
"Paul's greatest strength--even above his vast technical knowledge and keen eye for how to enable speed--is his ability to communicate. Whether it's on the water in between races, discussing why the right side of the course didn't work; sail testing, focusing on which jibs work best in which conditions; or on shore at an end-of-day debrief, analyzing the big picture including weather, boathandling, boat setup, and tactical and strategic decisions, Paul has this magic ability to convey a ton of information in a really digestible way, which makes it possible for us to then put that new knowledge into practice. And his enthusiasm for sailing faster and smarter and doing it with a huge smile on your face is completely contagious!"-Kim Couranz, US Sailing Team
"Paul helped our team sail by feel and develop a group interest in working together, experimenting, and learning. He provided valuable perspectives on the year long program and individual regattas. His knowledge is extensive, his style put us at ease, and his coaching was attuned to the experience level and goals of the team." -Paul van Ravenswaay (skipper, J/24 team campaign to the 2004 Worlds)
“In terms of pre-regatta training, Paul Cronin is without a doubt the best sailing coach I have ever worked with! Through his knowledge of physical fitness and his ability to break down the fundamentals of boat handling skills, his coaching clinics were some of the most productive I have ever attended. Whether training for the Olympics or campaigning towards a national or international event, neither time nor money can be wasted. Paul has helped me get to the next level by focusing on what is important, in turn leading to better regatta performance.” -Henry Filter, 2 time Pan American Team (Snipe), Former US Sailing Team (Laser)
