  • During at least one session, Dieter or Tony will be filming from the beach to provide immediate, quick debriefings and feedback.
  • At midday, a video analysis of key clips will be conducted, followed by a second session where a coach might join on the water or continue filming.
  • The same evening (18:00) or the following morning (9:30), a thorough review of all key clips will take place, and goals for the day will be established.
