NZ seniors now head to Prague

To our senior team self belief and as the Slovaks say Pod, Pod, Pod, means go, go, go

A full week of training and finetuning from the last two weeks of racing will help the seniors prepare for their next race in Tacen in two weeks. After going clean at most races over the NZL season the costly touches are something to work on physically and mentally and sort out.

Concentrate on the positives and the strengths of your racing over the last two races.

Remember that 'Creation" is the moment of performance when athletes put into practice everything they have worked on during their preparation:they have to achieve an optimum level of activation, be capable of visualising the task in hand, manage stress and negative thoughts and devoting their whole attention to their performance.

Tania and Johann fly into Europe at the end of this month and James flies in after Uni exams in mid June. Luuka will be now on her way to England and meeting up with the team at two of the world cups races Augsburg and Prague.

Senior team members sitting Uni exams and writing assignments while overseas keep up the good work.
