You want a rowing coach who understands the needs of masters rowers.
Faster Masters Rowing advances older athletes in the sport of rowing by educating and training them to learn the skills needed to row and scull with skill, to race, and to build up rowing clubs to grow the masters community.
Congratulations, you’ve found an online rowing coach and a rowing community for masters. Because masters are often poorly served by their rowing club (the oldest boats, no coach, last to get attention), you have to self-organize to make your rowing the way you want it.
We understand.
We’ve been in this exact situation. We know what it feels like for you. And we know the solution.
Faster Masters Rowing is a community for masters athletes – from beginners who are just getting started up to experienced masters rowers who have been sculling and rowing for many years.
Here you have found a rowing coach who explains carefully, who enables you to improve your rowing technique and to train effectively for fitness, weight loss and a healthy lifestyle.
What’s in it for me?
Faster Masters Rowing coaches write the masters rowing training program which we sell as a monthly subscription. To gain focus for fitness rowing training, or create a rowing camp program suitable for a masters sculling group then you have come to the right place.
We also host educational webinars on topics relevant to masters – whether you want to know what rigging to choose, how to navigate menopause or want to read about ways to train, upskill and plan competition, we’ve got you covered.
Whether you train on your own or in an organized group, Faster Masters Rowing has rowing education for you.
Advocates for masters
We often get asked this question why are you doing all this work for masters?
We passionately believe that masters are an important part of rowing. We choose to work to change negative attitudes towards masters and enable more people to row in more clubs globally.
Masters rowing is important
Our vision is that rowing is a “sport for life”. As long as clubs, federations and coaches know how to work with older athletes, masters can row with “adaptations” for as long as we choose.
Showcasing adaptations is part of our innovation; finding solutions to challenges is part of our thinking; overcoming structural impediments is part of our lobbying. It’s all in service to improving masters rowing.
