Bulldog Rowing Camp Day 2

Two sessions today with beautiful weather on the Housatonic River. Worked on the fundamentals of how to sit on the seat to allow for good torso mobility and how to hold on to the handle in order to be able to hold your body weight on the handle. The first session was primarily rowing by sixes using hands away and bodies over pauses and primarily rowing legs only and legs and back with straight arms. The second session moved into all eight rowing one and two strokes at a time with full strokes letting the blades skim on the water. The coxswain steered an excellent course and the rowers did a great job of paying attention and supporting one another. Tomorrow's plan will be to try and gain a little bit of time on the slide and to enjoy the free run of the boat that the rowers earn through their efforts. We'll also try some problem solving games to get their minds tuned into the idea of improvement.
