Flying is a series of linked decisions. You choose the day, the site, the time, the direction, and all the moves you make. Your mind will also explore a hundred alternatives and disasters along the way. When you can guide your mind in the right way, you get a flow, and find freedom. But without mental discipline and solid techniques, it can work against you. Let me show you what to do, to build your confidence and find your joy in the sky, every time you fly. All you need is some preparation ...
