Over the course of the summer I have had the opportunity to read and review In the Flow<\/a> by Jonathan Males. Jonathan has coached both the British and Australian Olympic slalom teams in the past has has used his knowledge of coaching and recent research to create a book<\/a> that aims “to help paddlers and coaches understand the theory behind success and provide practical skills to improve performance”.<\/p>\n

\"book_cover_in_the_flow\"<\/p>\n

Now don’t be put off if you are not a slalom paddler. In the Flow<\/a> is applicable to all areas of the sport and has actually been broken down in to a number of component parts with only a small percentage of the book being focussed on competition.<\/p>\n

\"tmp_d88d6883950735a8b2c28d4c2acc0f75_p1WD5u_html_m4d0afef.jpg.html\"<\/p>\n

Section 1 – Self Confidence and The Fundamentals
\nChapter 1 – Mastery Motivation
\nChapter 2 – Decision Making
\nChapter 3 – Execution
\nChapter 4 – Teamwork
\nChapter 5 – Developing The Fundamentals<\/p>\n

Section 2 –
\nChapter 6 – Competition
\nChapter 7 – Paddling Whitewater – Really enjoyed this chapter. Well thought out and thought provoking.<\/em>
\nChapter 8 – Women On The Water
\nChapter 9 – Paddling with Young People
\nChapter 10 – Canoeing Through Life
\nChapter 11 – The Experience Of The Wilderness<\/p>\n

Firstly despite looking at psychological fundamentals you don’t need a BSc to understand what is going on. The format and language used makes the book very easy to read\/follow. A great deal of text within the book<\/a> is given over to quotes and real life examples which I found aids the understanding\/theory behind the particular topic being discussed.<\/p>\n

However I do find parts of the books that uses quotes as demonstration of negative and positive use of language a little cheesy but that is something that I don’t like generally and doesn’t detract upon the impact of the rest of the text in this case.<\/p>\n

Since reading the book cover to cover I have found myself dipping back in to certain chapters and looking at my own paddling. This says a great deal about the quality of the book.<\/p>\n

I reckon that most sports people (not just paddlers) would be able to gain something from In The Flow<\/a> and would suggest getting a hold of a copy if you can. In The Flow is available as a hard copy<\/a> or as Kindle download<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
