I row, how can I improve my technique?

Question

I'm a novice this year, and I want to be as good as I can be for the sprints that are in late april...we've already had one erg race in january, and have another in march.

My coach is a romainian olimpic rower, well...he was in the past. So he has alot of experience in rowing...

anyone have suggestions?

Answer 1

Ok make sure you...

1. Are getting body swing

2. You aren't rushing your slide

3. Are getting "layback"

4. You pull the oar right at about the bra line

Try your best to "catch" on time with everyone in your boat.  

Avoid "crabs" at all cost!!
