Episode 11, Gurpreet Dhindsa and flying psychology

Gurpreet Dhindsa is India's top ranked pilot, and has been for some time. He is the only certified instructor in the country and has 20 year passionate years in the sport. Gurpreet has been on the podium six times and has been a very integral figure in pushing paragliding in India and has truly given his life over to free flight. In this entertaining episode we discuss the political and bureaucratic difficulties he's experienced as a pilot in India, the importance of being in the moment while flying, how he's recovered mentally after two friend's accidents, the value of struggle, changing strategies in order to learn and now worrying about scores, and how he's learning to fly his own line and why he's chosen to take less risk in competitions. This is a fascinating talk with a fascinating member of our community. Enjoy!
