Our weekly friday session dynamic without fins (
..or at least finally some good weather! It’s May again, so that means the start of our deep diving season. I’m very excited about this particular season. This friday we have another team meeting to discuss our goals and training regime for the next 6 months. We had a very good winter season that lay a broad foundation to build on. So Phase 1 is complete.
In the last 6 months Notis and Sanne learned a lot about themselves and how they need to train and with what kind of mentality. I, as coach, learned a lot about these two athletes. With a very good logged 6 months which made me do a lot of analyzing of all the gathered data. So we learned, we discussed, we trained, we finetuned, we tested, we gave it all and now we are ready. We’ve done our first step, so now the only thing we have to do is keep walking.
It’s funny too see how 2 people can approach 
Getting your theory done at the same time!
