Sources & references
Where the training content on this site comes from.
Technique drills
Drill principles drawn from interviews with my club coach at 24Seven Sailing and from published Open Skiff and ILCA coaching materials.
Gym routines
The gym plans are based on published research about sailing fitness, changed to suit young sailors like me.
Food and drink advice
The eating and drinking advice comes from published sports nutrition research for endurance sports, written in simple language.
AI coaching principles
The AI coach is programmed by me and given its information by qualified sailing coaches. I wrote its instructions and filled them with coaching principles gathered from real coaches, including my club coach at 24Seven Sailing, and its advice is checked against their feedback.
How accurate is this AI?
Everything the AI says comes from how I programmed it and the information coaches gave me, not a general chatbot left to its own devices. My club coach at 24Seven Sailing reviews selected answers and rates how useful they are. Treat AI advice as a starting point for discussion with your real coach, not a replacement for one.
