Video of the Week: What it means to be an oarsman
What better way to kick off the year than with a clip of Bryan Volpenhein talking about what it means to be an oarsman. Good stuff to keep in mind as we head off on our winter training trips and continue grinding through those erg pieces for the next two months.

Video of the Week: The erg as a tool for learning technique
This is a talk that Bill Manning (formerly of Harvard, now with the Princeton lights) gave a couple years ago on using the erg as a tool to help develop better rowing technique. It’s a long talk (an hour and twenty minutes) but for coxswains who are looking to develop a better understanding of the stroke and technique in general, this would be worth watching and taking notes on, that way when you get back from your training trip and are back inside on the ergs you’ll be better able to coach the rowers if/when necessary.
Video of the Week: M8+ Final Lucerne 1995
This was another race that Michiel talked about this summer at the Sparks camps. The second 500 wasn’t a good one for the Dutch – they fell down to fifth – but they came back in the second thousand, mainly in the last 500, to finish second behind the Russians. Less than a second separated 2nd through 4th place at the end.
