'One of the great things about Jem is his energy and love of windsurfing and his obvious wish to share that with others. Besides being a great sailor and teacher it is what sets him apart from the others. When I first met him I was blown away by his apparent mania for the sport.' Jim H 47, Ireland wave client, on Jem. |
'Jem doesn’t categorise people and make half the group feel like lower class citizens by calling them intermediates. He can put people together of all abilities and you’ll find the basic fundamentals are the same for all moves. I thought he would be doing a lot of chat and I didn’t think I would be able to pull out the nuggets that I needed. But he has really learnt how to present that information individual to each client.' Judith Harris, Rhodes '04 client, on Jems clinics.
As a windsurfer for several years at an ok nowegian level I am 100% self made and never had coaching. I´ve always wanted coaching and that was the reason I signed up for the Jem Hall clinic in El-Tur.
Jem has a sailing style obviously developed for letting people see what he does. This is atypical of Jem. As a coach there are no coincidences. He is 100% thought through and so professional.
I´m a higly educated psychologist in Norway working with people with severe eating dissorders. In my training I have met a lot of the top people world wide in my field. People knowing something about learning, change and how to cope with people wanting or not wanting this. Jem is by far better than a lot of these guys and actually the best coach I have ever met and had the opportunity to work with no matter my profession or other sports. He knows how to connect with you and helps you change and charge for perfection.He is the master at hitting you at your own level and making you feel like a champ. The different level of people joining the clinic was also no problem as everyone was catered for.
In one week Jem taught me more than I would usualy learn in a whole season. Most important he gave me all the fundamentals to build on to make me a better windsurfer in the future. A Jem Hall clinic is not over when you leave, It is something you take with you and that is going to make you a better and better windsurfer for many years to come. Asle Halvorsen, El Tur '07 client on Jem.
