Newbie Jitters
Hi Guys
I have recently started flying, both gliders and powered. I am LOVING it, completely obsessed and want to eventually buy into a syndicate. I have to confess though, I feel quite tense during lessons....now when I say lessons, I've had around a dozen winch launches in a glider and a single hour in powered.....but I do feel quite nervous to be up there at altitude. I hear myself saying 'don't worry it's completely normal, you'll just get used to it' Do I trust my inner therapist? Did anyone else wrestle with this to start with? I'm 52 so my sense of mortality may be slightly elevated because of my age, which makes me want to nail it even more !!
All advice to help quell the jitters gratefully received.
