Plan Sail Track by Signe Ronka & Thomas Fogh

July 5, 2023

This book is meant as a guide to plan and prepare your season helping you reach your peak performance.

Whether your goal is to make it to the Olympics or sail for fun, achieving any goal takes lots of planning. The first two sections are dedicated to setting your long term and short term goals, so you can see the vision in the future and what you need to work on right now. You will follow two sections called Periodized Planning and Setting SMART Goals.

If you live, breathe and love sailing, this guidebook was made for you. Whether you are sailing and training for fun, to be on the competitive team, or just to reach your personal best, keep doing what you love to do! The on-shore and off-shore sections will allow you to create structure and consistency with your training.

The most important measurement to see if you are reaching your goals, is to do some concrete tracking. This guidebook has been set up for a complete year of tracking your fitness, sailing, and nutrition. After every 2-3 months, you are ready to evaluate your progress, reset your goals, and mark down your accomplished goals. Reflect on what worked and didn’t work and then get ready to plan your next 8 weeks.
