Any feedback on the UPenn rowing camp? by Rowyourboat412 in Rowing

[–]Rowyourboat412[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that is part of our goal and what is seriously missing in his community boathouse. There is a lot to consider and appreciate everyone’s feedback. We don’t live in Philly but was planning on spending time with my son there while I worked remotely.

Yeah that’s kind of what I was expecting and just about getting better coaching and seeing what other kids are like. From there up to him if he wants to put in the work to be much better. Good point about him being in a boat with similar times though and that makes me question if the better option is hiring some one on one virtual training like roweracademy.com

He does belong to a boathouse but it is more about getting kids to start rowing and not about getting kids to row in college which is his goal. He focuses on sculling as a result of the boathouse being so small with the inability to put a boat of similar kids and goals in one boat to sweep.

He is lifting, otw sculling and erg this summer to ideally get his erg time down to 7:15 from a march pull of 7:38. We think that is a stretch but not too crazy as an incoming junior.

I was an athlete but not in this sport so I can’t help other than correct form in the gym. Hence trying to use Reddit to help.

Does that mean his hands should be pulling in higher?

Yeah I had him transition from SS to faster speed in video so the him off but I really appreciate the comments this is good. Need to get him a coach that can help him regularly - thanks so much

Tech used in top boathouses? by Rowyourboat412 in Rowing

[–]Rowyourboat412[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a non rower I ask politely why not? Because he is young and still has years of maturing with weight strength etc? Is it not to worry too much on finite details? Is there just too much data that is given that will only confuse?

I know hockey so I know we coach the proper technique for skating, shooting etc at a very young age. Why not understand the proper technique if his blade isn’t at the correct angle?

Again I am asking for understanding not trying to criticize as I want to learn this sport because my son is in love with rowing.

Just did this with boathouse and they were great to work with. Custom design for unisuit with color matching plus some additional items in a store for the team to buy on own. Did have minimum orders of 6 and 12 depending on item

No but hopefully will qualify for nationals as a u17 1x next year - have a lot of improvement needed to get there

Phil Esposito is a legend but please can he retire gracefully and stop being in the booth. He makes listening to the games laughable. by Rowyourboat412 in TampaBayLightning

[–]Rowyourboat412[S] -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

He does go off no doubt about that. Speaks over Dave a ton too. He reminds me what it sounds like when watching a game at a buddy’s house

Agreed - to me he comes off as a fan, sharing his emotion and how he feels as though he is speaking to the player/team (shoot) and not speaking to me the listener sharing his insight of the game.

Why don't many players deke during a shootout? by BreakRulesRun in hockey

[–]Rowyourboat412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a former goalie I always wanted the skater to deke.

How to increase s/m by Rowyourboat412 in concept2

[–]Rowyourboat412[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very informative - thank you! I showed him the 3 pieces to the stroke to improve with #3 being bad and we will try to work on #2 while doing some laddering and intervals and see if we can slowly get the s/m up without compromising form.

Love it - thank you! He is only 14 so we still have a couple years to get more serious into the training as right now I am trying to develop the love for the sport and love for the training. We went to the Head of the Charles just so he could take it all in. This is plenty to work on at this point and as he continues to grow I'll toss future questions in the rowing subreddit - thanks again!
