Recovery – Sliding too early
Mistake:	Before the arms are straight and the trunk is bent, the rower starts sliding. Also see: Finish.
Observe:	Legs, trunk and arms: see how the legs are already moving when the trunk is not yet folded and/or arms are not yet extended.
Cause:	Wrong mental image of the (ideal) stroke or rowing taught on the gym rowing machine.
Conse- quence:	Inequality and imbalances in the crew.
Remedy:	The exercise Dynamic lengthening and pause 4 (Pause paddling).
Feed- back:	Tactile by concentration on arms, trunk and legs. In a crew looking at the seat of the predecessor.

The handle does not come easily over the knees when sliding too early (www.rowanimation.nl).
