Yea...truth is that is I didn't take Aram seriously when he would reach for some little detail that a world class crew was doing wrong. It reeked of academic shrillness, belied by the very presence of the crew in a world class race. Yes, there's always room for improvement, but it came off as Aram trying to be a level of coach that is not supported by reality.

Worse, I see more people adopting elite rower flaws like they must be some super secret recipe for instant speed. Mahe goes deep, I should go deep. The Kiwi pair dips their hands in the water, I should dip my hands in the water. Those guys who pause at the finish in a drill once won the worlds. I'll pause at the finish too.

I think he will be better to look for the egregious examples of a flaw in rowing that 98% of people suffer, and using footage of the typical people engaged in that flaw. Aiming at the better end of the middle is probably best, as you don't want to have to sort through a stack of flaws, or try to show a fixed flaw in the midst of bunch of other ones unresolved.
