would be a brave man indeed to tell your investors ‘we don’t know if we will make any money at all as that is not our objective – our goal is to build the best product’. But here is the thing in life: if you’re not hell bent on being the
best, and that means constant improvement, you will go backwards, personally and professionally. Whether you consciously make the decision, or just start going through the motions at work, you have started to ‘cash in’; resting on your laurels while maximising your profit or income. And the clock starts ticking. Now it’s a matter of time before you get out-worked and out-hustled by someone else. In professional sailing you see it as clear as day. Those who are
doing the maximum and those who are doing the minimum required. Those who are set in their ways of 10 years ago – it’s a job versus a passion. They all show up on time, put in the effort during the regatta, help while on the clock. But the passionate ones… those are the guys who show up early, have done their prep work in the weeks before the regatta, and already know where they and the team want to improve. They do extra. It’s not an age thing, it’s a desire thing. Desire and passion to
be the best you can possibly be. That means constantly pushing yourself to a higher level. Just because you did the three America’s Cups or sailed around the world does not mean you’re exempt from the race to be better. Don’t kid yourself. If you think you can do or sail the same way
as you did 10 years ago, you’re off the pace. The game has moved on, either you move with it, or tick… tick… tick. OK, as coach, what am I looking for in the sailors and in myself:
the willingness to do extra, to be the best. A focus on the team more than on the individual. In a word, passion to be not just a pro trimmer, tactician or coach, but to be the best trimmer, tactician or coach in the world… Ever.
