Are you eager to do your best in your Learn to Row (LTR) course and hit the water with confidence and strength? My pre Learn to Row coaching is designed for you! This comprehensive land training programme will equip you with the essential skills and physical conditioning needed to master the rowing technique before you get on an erg (rowing machine), let alone set foot in a boat.

Why Pre Learn to Row Training?

Rowing on an erg demands a combination of strength, coordination, and proper technique. Without a solid foundation, novices often struggle with:

  • Engaging the core, legs, back and shoulders correctly
  • Avoiding common mistakes like cocking wrists or slumping at the start or finish of the stroke

My coaching addresses these challenges, ensuring you develop the right muscles and movement patterns essential for rowing.

Focus Areas:

  1. Core Strengthening: Build a stable and strong core to support your rowing movements.
  2. Leg Power: Develop the leg muscles necessary for powerful and effective strokes.
  3. Back and Shoulder Engagement: Learn to properly use your back and shoulders for maximum efficiency.
  4. Wrist and Posture Correction: Practice maintaining straight wrists and a strong posture throughout each stroke.
  5. Stroke Mechanics: Master the sequence and flow of the rowing stroke on the erg.

Benefits

  • Enhanced Performance: Start your LTR course with a solid foundation and perform confidently from day one.
  • Injury Prevention: Proper technique and strength reduce the risk of injuries.
  • Faster Progression: Quickly grasp the rowing fundamentals, allowing for a smoother transition to on-the-water rowing.

Duration: Four to six sessions
