MENTORSHIP
I remember when I started flying, right after I finish my initial training I realized, that it is quite hard to keep on progressing without anyone to ask for an advice. Paragliding can be hard and discouraging on your own. I have always looked out for mentors to progress in my flying. I can’t imagine a better way to progress. Without the mentors along the way I wouldn’t be half the pilot I am to day.
This is why I thought of offering mentorship to pilots that are eager to progress in the safest way possible. I want to offer this to anyone who is willing to learn and progress.

Tailored for you!
Paragliding is a lifetime of learning and progressing. It is a massive undertaking. We need to structure our training to be able to progress safely. Not only that, it is also easy to get demotivated in-front of such a large challenge. This is why it is important to have a step by step plan, with smaller and bigger goals.
Theroy
I always say that paragliding is 95% mind game. When we start flying it is all about physical control of the wing, it takes about 100% of or mental energy. The goal is to go from being worried about the wing to not to think about the wing. So we can free up our mind to be able to observe the surrounding air-mass and all the clues that help us fly longer, further and safer. There’s lots to learn.
