Suzie brings a compliment of skills to any situation that are garnered from the school of hard knocks to help harness a person's athletic and personal potential.

You'll also receive a FREE downloadable SUP Training Log that will help you chart and map your goals to success. Learn how to keep your head in the game and become more mentally tough, fierce and smart for some of your toughest races or new SUP challenges. Suzie writes, "Mental discipline and training your brain for paddling excellence has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with believing you can achieve your goal." She also adds, "Whether you're new to the sport of stand up paddling or preparing for an exciting Maui Maliko downwinder or a sprint race, having upper body paddling strength and endurance is critical to your success and enjoyment of the sport. I want you to have the ammunition and extreme body confidence you need to help you pass a competitor, make every wave, and dominate." Because you are unique and so is your current level of fitness, you will learn how to develop your own training program that you can design to best fit your fitness paddling needs. This book will also educate you and help you make the best nutrition decisions for training up to the week before and on race day. The more you know why your body needs certain types of food for fuel to help you faster to the finish line, or just to help you finish a grueling race; the better prepared you'll be and the better outcome you'll have in your overall SUP training and performance. Suzie trains people and athletes from around the world via SKYPE and some are lucky enough to come and paddle and train with her on Maui. Maybe one day that will be you, but for now take this book with you to the beach, to the gym and to the water's edge and watch your SUP performance soar.
