Mael Jimenez
Who is Mael?
Mael Jimenez is one of the most passionate person you will ever meet. Since he started flying eight years ago he never stopped exploring and looking for the best way to share his insights and develop a “coaching method” to help other pilots around him better than he already got helped himself. His experience gathered during years of world class competition and his background in psychology pushed him to put the emphasis on a variable that is too often underestimated in our recently born sport : mental.
A coach which will always believe in you even when you don't
His approach is based on the the belief that no pilot is better or worse than anyone and the only difference between a bad and a good pilot is :
1: the amount and/or quality of training he can afford,
2: the quality of the advices and tips he gets throughout his progression and most importantly
3: the mental support all along the ups and downs he will experience.
As he knows he can already have a huge impact on the last two, he will always give himself 100% to support you the best way possible throughout your journey.
Mael is still one of the best pilots of his generation and keeps training and exploring all the disciplines of paragliding to feed his hunger for knowledge in order to bring you further than you never would have expected.
Ali Yeşil
Who is Ali?
Ali Yeşil has been flying since his childhood. He has been living in Ölüdeniz, which also considered as Disneyland of paragliding, since he was 12 years old. He continues his acro flights, which he started at the age of 16, actively today. He has been the Turkish champion twice and achieved good results in many international competitions. In addition to his acro career, he has been an active SIV/ACRO instructor in Ölüdeniz for 6 years.
What’s the vision of Ali?
As a coach, I aim to provide deep learning for the student with the methods I use when teaching paragliding at any level. When teaching a trick or technique, the aim should not be to see this action as a task to be completed and finished, but to really gain this skill by trying to understand it completely. At this point, the methods and approaches we developed with Co-Pilot aim to ensure that the student progresses as quickly and safely as possible, while at the same time ensuring that the student acquires this skill permanently.
