Title: The quantum sculler
Description: "Jimmy Joy's major contribution to coaching is his integral appraoch to the art of rowing. He has a holistic perspective, which emphasizes the whole stroke cycle versus the component parts. With technical proficiency and Jimmy's holistic approach, a student of rowing can fully experience the cyclic flow of rowing -- a deeper feeling oa a joyful sense of integration -- being one with the boat, water and environment. As athletes, when we experience and integrate the different dimensions of our being, when our symphony is playing well, we enter flow. We touch the Divine. In rowing, flow happens when no separation exists between ourselves, the shell, the oars, the water and the world surrounding us. In The Quantum Sculler, Joy shares consciousness perspectives and technologies from the world's spiritual traditions, quantum physics, energy psychology, sports psychology, and the human potential movement. Through these teachings, athletes learn to turn their attention inward to an awareness of their thought processes, their emotions, and body energy states"--Page [4] of cover.
