The angle of incidence of the wing makes the leading edge higher than the trailing edge, while the angle of incidence of the horizontal stabilizer in the tail makes the leading edge lower than the trailing edge, so oncoming relative wind raises the wing and lowers the tail until flight attitude in a glider is nearly level with the horizon as the glider reaches Terminal Velocity. Properly trimmed, the pilot does nothing. The glider WANTS to fly at cruising attitude and cruising speed.

That’s a better description of the physics of flight than was offered me in High School Physics and in the pilot training materials I’ve seen. Those models (the stupid idea that the Bernoulli Effect creates lift, coupled with the weird cross showing Lift vs. Gravity and Thrust vs. Drag fail to explain how gliders fly or how airplanes fly inverted (with the pilots pushing the stick waaaaay forward to sustain flight, using the elevators to counteract the angle of incidence of the wing and horizontal stabilizers).

I won’t try to explain stalls and spins in Klingon. I could, but jeez. This was hard enough.
