I first came to the Peninsula when I was 17 and I fell passionately in love with the place, despite not knowing my Irish great-great-great-grandmother was buried here
Two days later, seven orca, possibly from the same pod, made their way up Whitianga Estuary
We live in a society where scoring points or winning is often the approach taken when it comes to evaluating options and making decisions.
n a world plagued by screens, it’s so important that we make time to connect with nature and appreciate our epic surroundings. Scenic tracks not only provide heaps of inspiration for my work as a landscape painter, but they also have so many benefits for my physical and mental health. If you’re visiting Coromandel with friends and whānau or you’re a local looking for a change of scene, it’s worth exploring these beautiful tracks. Here are my favourite five on the Coromandel Peninsula.
I’ve been working with athletes for more than 16 years and visualisation is one of the most common and most important techniques used in Sport Psychology. It means that you envisage a new sequence of movement, a race course or any sort of goal with all the details and with all your senses, mentally before you do it physically. This technique is so successful, because your subconscious mind cannot distinguish whether what you have just thought of was just imagination or actually real. Even your body will respond to an imagining with real-life symptoms.
