Sir Ben Ainslie won his first two Olympic medals (silver, then gold) in
the Laser Class. After winning the gold medal he wrote down the secrets
that won him that medal in this book. This new edition is published to
mark the 20th anniversary of that first of his four Olympic gold medals.
It features a brand-new introduction by Ben reflecting on his victory 20
years ago.
It is the only how-to book that the world's most successful Olympic
sailor has written and so, while he and the Laser class have moved on,
this is the only place where you can gain access to Ben's skills and
thought process. It is an invaluable guide on how to perform at the top
of the Laser class or, indeed, any single-handed sailing dinghy.
From psychology, goal setting and getting the boat right to speed,
fitness and training - this book illustrates how to win a championship.
Brimming with photographs, it is a colourful, detailed account of how to
dominate in your fleet.
