Coach Yourself to Win

Jon Emmett is a successful Laser Radial sailor, representing the UK internationally for over 15 years. A professional coach and expert dinghy sailor, he is a National, European and World champion, impressively having won the UK National Championships three times! He is the training officer for the UK Laser Association and coached Chinese Laser Radial sailing star Lijia Xu to a gold medal at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

"Emmett is a natural communicator. While he is now coaching at the highest level, thanks to his club coaching experience he is able to distil the elements of complex subjects down into their essentials and then break them into steps. His books are very much practical manuals... must reads for dinghy sailors." (Sail World) "If you can read, absorb and put into practice just some of the advice given, you'll be a better sailor– if you can take most of the knowledge with you, there is no reason why you shouldn't win… Backed by top class colour graphics and photos, Emmett has a refreshing way of delivering the words, and that, in turn, makes it easier to coach yourself." (Sailing Magazine)“Jon looks at helping you self-critique constructively with lots of good advice.” (UK Laser Association)
