Al Morrow is leading a deep dive into the rowing stroke – with a difference. Al will review rowing and sculling through a single viewpoint – horizontal alignment. A single-lens focus on *horizontal rowing*—breaking down the stroke into its most fundamental, linear components—is incredibly powerful for helping masters rowers gain a fresh perspective and improve technique.
Good rowing is horizontal
What you’ll learn in this 90 minute webinar:
- Define horizontal rowing (this will be based on some research and Al’s experiences observing good rowing)
- Why is horizontal rowing important (this section will include comments on injury prevention, boat speed)
- Key technique points to consider (correct usage of legs, back and arms during the stroke cycle, tips on grip, bladework)
- Coaching and self-coaching tips for masters rowers (this section will include a lot of tips for coaches and also self coaching tips and cues for rowers)
- Some good drills that help one learn horizontal rowing
- Horizontal rowing on the ergometer tips (foot board setting, drag factor, usage of mirrors)
