In order to keep the text readable, the masculine form of address is used everywhere. Eachdrill is described in the following fixed format:

Practice: What exactly is thedrill, how is it done.
Type: Is it a classical or motorialdrill?
Purpose: Why is thisdrill done.
Focus: What should the rower pay attention to when performing thedrill?
Transfer: How do you ensure that what you learn is carried over to the stroke.
If nothing is described, the stroke must be executed with the same focus as in thedrill.
Variation: What variants of thedrill are there?
Make: If it is a tool, how do you make that tool.
