Your balance at the catch is awesome. I find myself tense and wobbly there 😅

Your video techniques has helped me with learning and enjoying my boat.

Totally agree! Nice to have this out there for novices who want to move forward with best form.

Charlotte has fabulous balance.

As a lifter, I love the start at the catch technique. I do something similar with squats in my early warm up. With an easy weight, I sit in the bottom of the squat, take a few breaths, loosen and tighten the core and learn how to feel comfortable in that position. It's the most import position in the squat but you're only there a small amount of time, but you have to be extremely aware at the point. I can't wait to try it.

Excellent drills that I will use in my own rowing and coaching. Thanks!

Love this whole series. Very useful.

Thanks Bob, glad you find them useful!

So very helpful and explained very well I loved all of your guide videos thanks for posting

Really clear - and I like that Charlotte says she 'doesn't really like drills ' so builds them into her rowing instead.

Thank you Charlotte for sharing your knowledge. Beginning rower, age 61.

Thank you - simple drills for beginners get a new life with your great demo and explanations!

Great clinic at Swan Creek this past weekend. Immersion (cognitive, not literal, pardon the pun) is a great way to learn.

Glad you enjoyed it! Stay loose...and maybe start stretching? 😄

@@rowingwithcalmwaters you know what, I started stretching in earnest trying to be careful not to overdo it, and I felt great and went for a nice relaxing run with the masters team and wouldn't you tweaked my hamstring really good for no discernable reason at all and I can barely walk today. I'm going back to no stretching! Never liked it anyway! (just kidding...sort of)

@@stephencroce2033 Shoot, sorry you were negatively rewarded for your stretching. Hope the hamstring heals quickly and that you won't entirely give up on stretching!

I need help with finding balance in a boat. I am able to keep my hand level but it seems to be my core which is a bit off?

Charlotte, thanks for the useful tips. TT

Herşey tam da şu bilek düz durmuyor😭😢
