Our technical approach this season is rooted in finding simplicity and a relaxed, continuous movement in every stroke. By focusing on the fundamental "large strands" of the rowing stroke—connection, drive, and glide—we aim to develop a rhythm that is both powerful and sustainable. Whether we are training at low rates or under race conditions, the goal remains the same: a clean, efficient movement that allows the boat to do the work.

Core Technical Essentials
Core Technical Essentials
The technical model for the current season is built on three specific "strands" that the PS crew has already been practicing:
Relaxed Connection
Relaxed Connection
Focus on keeping the elbows down at the front of the stroke to ensure you engage the lats, core, and glutes early rather than using smaller muscle groups.
Push and Hang
Push and Hang
Prioritize a leg-driven stroke ("legs, legs, legs") while keeping your body weight suspended onto the handle.
The Glide
The Glide
Consciously allowing the boat to glide through the water.
