Autumn 2023 will be remembered for the numerous events of the Sherows project, let's start with the bronze medal at the beach spring world championships in Barletta of our young Sherower: Viola Patrignani, then a series of events of our Irish partners:
Stand up off the Seat Drill = the idea of the drill is to get the rowers to suspend as much weight on the footplates at front stops as they can and they then try to quickly stand up. The measure of success is if they can suspend themselves off the seat from catch to finish. That means that they have a full connection with the boat and the water for the entire stroke.
Another Drill, How should the catch feel? Sit at the backstops and place the blades square in the water. (This is easier in a crew boat than a single.) Back the boat down by pushing your hands away from you through the water. Push firmly till they are over your knees and the boat has started moving. As your hands go over your knees and the boat has started moving you may need to push up on the handle(s) to keep the blade(s) in the water. Once the boat is moving relax and follow the handles forward to the catch position. (Let the handle(s) draw you forward.) Feel how easily you stretch forward, nad how easily the handle(s) glide with the movement of the boat. Feel how the pressure comes onto your feet as you get closer to the catch position. Keep your blade(s) in the water as you move through to the catch and take a stroke. Feel how smooth the transition between gliding forward and pushing back is. Feel how the blades are locked against the water as you change direction. (video below…
Today, April 22nd is a great day for our project, more than 57 km covered by rowing and on erg for the two major project events: Venice lagoon and Limassol erg marathon.
Our team of coaches is enriched by a new precious resource: Annalisa
Good evening friends, tonight's coach's suggestion concerns the technique for getting on and off the boat in a beach sprint competition.
Dear Sherowers, if you capsize on a boat, don't worry, it's generally a beginner's nightmare, but if you apply the right technique, follow the coach's advice, it shouldn't happen......but if it really does happen, our coach Maria will shows how to get back on board without difficulty. Ask you coach girls !
SheRows involve a staff of technicians to create a training programme and evaluate the state women’s rowing training then to create healthy practices and wellness. The clubs represented in the SheRows consortium boast medaled coaches and members of their respective federations able to initiate inexperienced people to sport, who enhance the technique of expert sportsmen, on classic rowing boats, coastal rowing boats and erg:
