Jonathan Males, a widely-published and highly-acclaimed Sports Psychologist, draws upon his lifetime worth of experience coaching elite athletes and as a canoe slalom athlete for Australia himself to answer some long-standing questions about the connection between what a paddler thinks and feels with how he or she performs. In the Flow gives practical advice on what recreational and competitive paddlers and their coaches need to do, to ensure a confident performance when it counts.

Content is easily-accessible to all paddlers, coaches and parents alike whilst remaining relevant to all paddlesports disciplines including whitewater, flatwater and ocean-paddling.

“With this book Jonathan Males, whom I first coached in 1981 in Australia, demonstrates he's now one of the top experts in the field of sports psychology. The book's easy to read and packed with insightful and practical information, not only for competitive athletes and recreational river runners, but also for those seeking high performance in any field.”
Bill Endicott,
Former Coach of 27 World, World Cup and Olympic Champions
Assistant in the U.S. House of Representatives and The White House
