April Coaching Feature / Bo Hanson
|
|
|
 Have you ever noticed how some rowers “get” instructions immediately, while for others it takes a while for things to click? As a coach, this is something you’ve had to deal with on numerous occasions. Many coaches develop their own ways of “working” with their athletes and having a well-proven framework can be extremely useful. What I mean, when I talk about “working” with your rowers, is creating an effective method of helping them learn. We understand all rowers and athletes are unique and cannot be coached in exactly the same way. Each of your rowers is likely to learn in their own unique way, knowing how they learn is the key to helping them improve (and reducing your stress too!)

April Masters Rowing Feature / Charlotte Hollings
|
|
|
 While the calendar says it’s spring, it sure doesn’t feel like it here on the east coast! Despite that, I’m sure many of you are beginning to venture out onto the water to begin the 2013 season. There are so many things to think about during those first few weeks back in the boat, but none more important, I believe, than staying relaxed. Nervousness leads to tension; tension leads to bad rowing; bad rowing makes the boat less stable, which makes us more nervous and the cycle just escalates.

April Safety Feature / Willie Black
|
|
|
 A novice crew was warming up for its first collegiate sprint race. It was the end of the spring break training trip and were all primed and ready to go. The warm-up was going great, the rowers were focused on executing the planned warm-up, and the coxswain was making sure that they were focused and hitting their ratings. There was nothing between them and their first victory. Well, almost nothing. Actually, it was a 1,000-pound steel buoy, painted bright green, and it even had a little light on top, but they still hit it dead on.
