Controlled Rowing

Rowers:

This training video is excellent. While you are watching the rowing, look at the following parts of their stroke: the control, their puddles, blade heights, timing, feathering, and reach.

More specifically, when all eight are rowing at full slide, notice how each rower reaches out towards his rigger and effectively divides the boat.

Harvard-Yale-Oxford-Cambridge 500m Sprint

Rowers:

The commentators make a point of mentioning how important focus is during this short 500 meter sprint between the four, international university powerhouses: Harvard, Yale, Cambridge, and Oxford. In fact, notice how relevant their comments are to what the Niskayuna freshmen have been working on.
