Before we got to far away from the Buddy Melges advice, I want to record part of an interview with Robert Scheidt from the April 2007 Sailing World. Dave Reed asks "In the boat park before a day of racing you're said to be very intense and focused, mainly keeping to yourself."
"I'm a quiet guy and don't like to talk to much before the race. I try to concentrate on the day. I try to keep my routine before the race: washing the boat, checking the gear and going to the course early to check the conditions. After each race I relax, have a quick discussion with my coach, and not think too much about the race. I try to not bring bad feelings in to the next race or the next day and deal with each race at a time. If I win the race, OK, but focus on the next race. If I do badly, I try to forget it."
Anything we have touched on before?
