As athletes in a complex sport you need to be able to take personal leadership and responsibility for your campaign. The complexity provides our athletes with challenges both inside and outside the field of competition.
The Norwegian sailing team has more days away from home than any other Norwegian sport team. We ship more equipment around the world than any other sport and we drive more kilometers than any other sport.
This combined with the complex equipment, relying on weather and competing in a sport that often is compared to playing chess, poker and driving a race-car at the same time, just emphasizes the need for personal leadership in a sailing campaign.
