  • Switching between sweep & sculling

    Switching between sweep & sculling
    2025/07/03
    How to make swapping easier, the differences, visible signs of what goes wrong and drills to help you swap sides and codes. Timestamps 00:45 Switching sweep and sculling Masters frequently get asked to swap - first couple of times you are clumsy and have lost fine motor skills. Differences are about oar handling, movements up and down the boat and round the rigger. 01:30 List of differences Sweep - grip on recovery, feathering, hands away (outside hand), body rotation towards the rigger, hand height at catch, elbow position at finish. Sculling - grip on recovery, thumbs, left hand lead, nested hands, Left hand getting higher at catch, elbow position at finish. 02:50 Visible signs of what goes wrong Get videoed or ask the person sitting behind you to tell you what they can see. Sweep - feathering with both hands, holding on too tight with the inside hand, both arms straight, leaning away from rigger, outside elbow flares sideways, inside shoulder higher than outside shoulder. Causes of the main issues - getting the correct hand to do each job - in sweep feathering with inside hand and outside hand controlling the handle height. Sculling - hands hit each other, crossover with wrong hand in front, stacked not nested hands at the crossover, air gap between handles, elbows tucked to the side body. 07:30 Drills to help you switch Practice these in the warmup. Sweep drills - wide grip / inside hand down the loom isolates the hand, inside hand holding the seat top behind your back, press down with the outside hand, inside hand on the backstay (square blades), eyes looking out to your side of the boat. Sculling drills - left hand lead, pausing at hands away, pause at finish with blades on the water to check your elbows, slap catches to train handle height at the catch.

  • Coaching why athletes revert

    Coaching why athletes revert
    2025/06/26
    Discover how to overcome your natural biology to resist movement pattern changes in rowing technique. Timestamps 01:00 A coach was frustrated his athletes forget from one workout to the next. The cause is not necessary wilful, it's not your coaching skill - it's biology. We are hard wired to keep to the muscle memory we already have. Rowing Muscle Memory and neural pathways The solution is multiple repetitions of a drill during an outing is important. Your brain prioritises familiar patterns when under stress. Automaticity means we revert back under pressure. - Insufficient repetitions is the solution. The challenge here is inconsistent reinforcement - if you can self-coach this can help. Understand what the coach is teaching - ask questions. Provide drills to the athlete to isolate or exaggerate the movement you are teaching. Increase stroke rate or the power through the water to test your skill under pressure. Cognitive overload leads to frustration The solution here is to practice both thinking and doing. Row for 10 strokes without thinking about anything. During those strokes the athlete is maintaining the new movement pattern. Check after 10 strokes if you are doing it right - if not, adjust and do 10 stroke more not thinking. 05:00 The competence model of unconscious competence is your goal. Train yourself by managing your cognitive overload. The challenge is you can think you are regressing because it feels different and awkward. Learn to overcome this to achieve the end goal. 06:00 Athlete receptiveness You must test your skill under pressure with increasing challenge so that when you're at your most pressurised in a race you are also tired and stressed yet you maintain the technique. Fear of failure as the new technique is untested. Overcoming this is hard - athletes try hard to perform well. Poor communication undermines an athlete's ability to take up what you're trying to teach. Explain what you're trying to do and why as well as how to do it. Peer Pressure - the difference between style and technique. If a leader in the group disagrees they can refuse to change and if you're following someone who is rowing differently it's hard. This requires a different intervention. Ask me if you need this. 09:30 How to coach change and prevent reversion Approach the change in micro steps. Take a small first step - do the drill in a stable boat with others sitting it level, isolate part of the stroke, row one person at a time. External cues - can you use video, physical markers, feel, or hearing to assess when you are getting it right? Train under duress - make it harder for yourself progressively by adding duress to test your skill. Accountability - crew feedback by asking others if you are doing it right. Agree together to be accountable. Gain buy-in as a coach so the athletes trust that your teaching will be beneficial. Explaining the why. Normalise the struggle - we are on a journey seeking the perfect stroke. We are in this together.

  • Be ready for practice

    Be ready for practice
    2025/06/18
    How to streamline your workouts in order to maximise your time on the water. Learn how be a good student and arrive prepared for your workout. Timestamps 00:45 What's it like arriving at your boathouse? Imagine parking your car and walking through the front door, what's the signage like, is it clean and orderly? Is the lineup clear? Is the coach boat ready? What about cox box and life jackets? What do you need to do before you can get safely onto the water each practice? Masters are often time-poor and busy people. Anything we can do to streamline the necessary tasks means more time on the water for your workout. 02:15 The night before Get prepared early - get out all your clothing, gear. Know your departure time from home and list all the things you have to do before leaving. What's the weather report - does this affect traffic? What's on the training program? Who is in your crew lineup and which boat/oars are you using? Have your rowing electronics, gloves, cap, rain jacket ready and your post-workout clothing too. 03:45 When you arrive Get to the boathouse in enough time to get everything ready. Be clear about the time of the practice is pushing off from the dock (not walking through the front door). Know what needs to be done and find out what remains to get ready from others who are already there. Put everything onto the dock. Ideally, nobody goes back into the building after you have put your boat on the water. Water bottle, oars, stroke coach, PFD, light, cox box etc. Put them on the back of the pontoon so they aren't trip hazards. Sign out in the safety register - names, boat, circulation, time going out. Be friendly - say hello to others. In your crew agree the seating order and who will steer and who will do the calls. Know the workout and the warmup as well as the focus point for the outing (heart rate, effort, technique points). Confirm hazards like buoys and other water users - where could clashes happen? 07:30 Diverging from the plan Know about when should you change the outing plan? Weather conditions are often the deciding factor and running out of time. How do you cut it down - the repeats, the rest, turning round early? Decide together what to do in your crew. Wind direction changes and waves can make it unsafe. Where can you go for safety in flatter water? Can you see other crews and what decision are they making when a change is needed? Where will you cut across your planned route? Experienced rowers will know what to do if the wind or tide changes, how to make changes to your safety plan. Remember the water is safe until that you forget that it is dangerous. Want easy live streams like this? Instant broadcasts to Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn.
