Every crew or rower who rows regularly makes progress. The added value of the instructor/coach lies in accelerating this progress. As a coach, you have many ways to speed up the development of your rowers and crew. These articles provide insight into effective strategies:

	Types of drills	Use cybernetic or motor skill drills to improve movements. These are more effective than classic coaching interventions.
	Using a drill	Use a structured step-by-step plan to increase the effectiveness of the drill.
	Providing guidance	Give short, concrete guidance that instruct the rower on how to execute a movement.
	Motivation and focus	How to motivate rowers to execute correctly, and what they can monitor to determine whether a movement was good or bad.
	Simultaneous & muscle learning	How to lock a new rowing movement into muscle memory.
	How rowers & crews learn	How self-direction works for individual rowers and crews.
