Recovery – Uncontrolled sliding

Mistake:

Slide too rapidly during the leg phase of the recovery, or only the last piece towards the catch. Instead of sliding evenly, a decelerated or an accelerated sliding. Also see:

Recovery.

Observe:

Seat: in the

Rowing bin on the

Rowing machine, look at the seat and compare the actual speed with an even speed.
Legs: in the boat, look at the angle of the knees and see if the speed at which they go down is even.

Cause:

Wrong rhythm idea. Too slow initial away, forcing lost time to be made up on the tracks.

Conse-
quence:

The rhythm is disrupted and the before the catch the rower has to slow down hard. To do this, the foot stretcher is kicked backwards hard and decelerate the boat unnecessary. Also, the weight shift from the rower in the boat from bow to stern is very fast. Both are detrimental to boat speed. In crew rowing this is called 'rushing': the rowers slide too fast, causing the stroke rate to go up unintentionally.

Remedy
erg/bin:

Unlearn the rower to slide with the seat and learn to:

1.	Sliding with the feet by: pulling the foot stretcher evenly towards the body. This can also be practiced sitting on a smooth floor: place a towel over your feet and pull the towel evenly towards you. Differential by asking the rower to slide without holding the handle, consecutively: decelerated, accelerated and evenly. (Differential approach)
2.	Sliding with your hands by: pushing the handle evenly away from you.

Also see the exercise

Trunk throwing. Use the 5-step learning process (

Intervene).

Remedy
boat:

Have the rower(s) experience the throwing back of the boat by sliding forward fast while stationary: the stern of the boat dives and goes backwards. Then a row a piece where the recovery is made with either the feet or the hands:

1.	Slide with the feet by: pulling the foot stretcher evenly towards the body.
2.	Sliding with your hands by: pushing the handles evenly away as if both garden doors are being opened (sculling) or letting the outer hand evenly drift away from you (sweep rowing);

Also see the exercise

Trunk throwing.

Feed-
back:

Auditory by listening to the draw. Tactile by concentration on the foot stretcher to be drawn slowly towards or the handle(s) slowly pushing away from the body.

Cox
chair:

Mainly noticed by the stroke (rushing). It is important to ask the stroke whether this is the case. In addition, the cox will notice that the boat slows down considerably before the catch, causing the cox to be thrown forward.

	Recovery – Late squaring
	Recovery – Not sliding far enough
