TECHNIQUE ref: Booklet 7 - Coxswain as Coach
S p e ci f ic F o cus C ha r act e r isati o n Command Example D r ill E x a m p l e
CATCH The placing of the blade into the water
Continuous movement Blade is prepared and placed before the rower reaches the front of the slide “Square early” Roll-ups
Placement with hands Head, shoulders and body remain relaxed, still and stable “Hang from the handle” Catch slaps
Place directly Blade does not ‘sky’ upward nor move toward the stern before placement “Stay away from your toes” Full stroke water contact
Timing All blades enter the water at exactly the same time “Together - now” Catch-taps
DRIVE The force exerted by the rower to move the oar through the water
Efficient movement Legs, body and arms used in sequence - each overlapping with the other “Legs, bodies, arms” Work up the slide
Flat movement Hands follow constant path with blade remaining at constant depth “Maintain pressure” Watch the blade
Increasing momentum Handle gathers speed through to the finish of the stroke “Calves to deck” Pressure variation
Initiated by legs Pressure in the water is exerted on the feet through the legs “Pressure on feet” Stuff-the-duck
FINISH / RELEASE The completion of the stroke and extraction of the blade from the water
Continuous movement Hands continue to move through to the body and away from the body without pause “Spin the hands” Double finish
Stable position Body is erect (not slumped) with high seated position back from the vertical “Light on the seat” Body hold
Through momentum Shoulders finish behind the handle with a flat arm draw parallel to the water “Follow through” Arms only
Clean extraction Water does not envelope the blade, the blade does not through up wash “Down away” Delayed feather
RECOVERY The carrying of the blade forward while moving up the slide to place the blade
Sequenced movement Hands lead shoulders and body forward before knees rise “Hold knees down” Back chock
Relative time frame The movement up the slide is slower than the movement down the slide “Rhythm/ratio” Recovery count
Constant speed Slide movement is regulated and controlled (no rush or variation) “Steady” Feet out
Length of movement Arms extended, body swings, shoulders in front of hips, chest forward, chin up “Rock from the hips” Slide checks
DRILLS
DR I L L D e sc r i p ti o n Command Sequence Be aware of the following...
Roll -Ups / Strikes With rowers sitting with square blades at finish position the rowers tap the hands “One roll-up” Unified exit from water
down to take the blade out of the water, feathers the blade, moves slowly up the “Attention” Even blade heights
slide with a gradual squaring of the blade to enter the water together. “Row” Uniform entry to water
“Rest” Steady slide
Stuff-the-Duck Place the blade into the water at the catch position, as normal. Then reverse the “Sit up at the catch” Arms are not used
seat position by a few centimetres on the slide to initiate the drive. However, before “Knee movement only” Body is not used
going any further than a few centimetres, remove the blade from the water. Then “For two strokes” Push off feet
move forward again those same few centimetres to place the blade at catch - repeat. “Row” Small movement
Pressure Variation Crew rows normal sequence but varies the amount of effort through the stroke. “On three strokes 30% entry Hold body position at front
30-70 Enters the water at less than normal pressure (30%) and builds this pressure building to 70% at finish” Body opens out
through the drive to a (70%) stronger, exaggerated finish. “One, two, three” Arms follow through
“Hold for twenty” Defined puddle
Working up the slide All crewmembers start at the back of the slide with legs fully extended and then by “Sitting at back chocks” Isolated movement
degrees work to a full slide movement. For example the crew rows with arms only “Arms only for twenty” Uniformity
for twenty strokes, then 20 with body swing, then 20 at 1/4 slide, 20 at 1/2, 20 at 3/4 “Attention” Bright smart movement
then full slide. “Row” Do not rush
Checks or pauses Crew pauses without movement at a given point during the stroke before being told “1/2 slide checks on my word” Hold correct body position
to continue with the stroke. This can be at the discretion of coach or cox i.e. “on this one” Avoid rush to continue
finish position, 1/4 slide, 1/2 slide, 3/4 slide. The pause can be asked for on each “check” Hand speed identical
stroke or intermittently e.g. every third stroke or for five strokes continuous. Slide speed identical
Square Blade The crew does not feather the blade. The blade is maintained at a right angle “Square blades on three” Clean exit with tap down
to the water for the duration of the stroke. “One, two, three” Oars off the water
“Hold square for 20” Entry prepared and timed
Level handle heights
