“Harmony, balance, and rhythm. They’re the three things that stay with you your whole life. Without them civilization is out of whack. And that’s why an oarsman, when he goes out in life, he can fight it, he can handle life. That’s what he gets from rowing.”
-George Yeomen Pocock ( www.9thseat.tumblr.com )

Blade shapes change, training programs evolve. But the best parts of rowing are unchanging: rowers finding themselves and securing their place in the universe through the discipline of rowing.

The erg does not care that you’re having a bad day. Fear of jump squats will not strengthen your legs. Planks work your shoulders more than your abs because your arms are weak—do them anyway. Run until “good hurt” is just a good feeling. Legends are just everyday people who honoured their dreams with the hard work they deserve. Eat well, rest up, pull hard, keep going.

im a collegiate novice and i'm so nervous about winter training! we aren't on the water anymore and so many people have already dropped and that worries me.. what is winter training like?
Winter training is where you discover whether you if you’re cut out for the sport or not. That simple.It’s weeding out season. But weeding out season only ends when spring season ends. People will continue to drop in the spring.
Well I can tell you it is much harder than high school winter training!D3 schools have self-coached winter trainingsD1 & D2 operate similarly: intense.
At my high school, we only 2k’d once at the end of each winter season, but I know of several high schools that 2k throughout the winter and college is much like that.
One test after another. It’s 2ks, 4ks, 6ks and often two in one day.
I’ve learned a new approach to winter training though.Yes coaches remember how you’ve done in the winter and consider your progress, but when it comes to making boats, the best 2ks achieved in the spring/end of winter are getting those seats.Alllll
Lemme say that a little more clearly
ALLLLLLLLLLALLALLLALLLLLLLLLLLLL
your workouts in the winter are to (yes help lower that next 2k but) ultimately aid you is destroying that erg on that final 2k before line ups are posted.
Now if anyone thinks I’m about to say “so don’t worry your pretty heads off until then” bye. I’m not going to say that. This post isn’t a lovely dream, it’s the climax of your nightmare, but it’s not time to wake up yet,
What I am going to suggest is remove the ANXIETY of these 6ks and 2ks. Your score can suffer from them. Anxiety is for boat line up posts and race starts.Right now you are shaping yourself to reach your max potential on that final pre lineup 2k.
The workouts are not there to be lol’do at. Lol at your work outs now & you’re erg screen is going to read “lol r u even pulling rn bro?” on that final 2k.These workouts should be worked with the same intensity as those tests—leave the anxiety at home. You’re building your portfolio in the winter. You have at least a month (2 in college) to prepare for that interview.
You want the job, put in the work now to get it.
Now.
Like log off tumblr & go for a run.Go.
I should mention long extended rows are common too. Not just 20 minutes, but like 40s.Those 40s man.Ugh. Why must I loathe softball so much?
Good luck!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

inside every athlete is that one demon, hidden down in the back of your mind that screams at you not to finish the piece. it tells you you’re not good enough, this hurts, lets go home and watch more tv. in a crew it is easier to squash that demon, to beat it down and use those around you to push yourself further. whilst not easy to do having team mates makes fighting your demon manageable. It is the single sculler who has the real fight, or the athlete who has decided that the only way they will improve is by training themselves outside of the programme. those who train alone truly come to know their demons, “whos going to notice if you dont finish this piece”, “what difference is that extra stroke/rep/minute going to really make.” every stroke the demon screams at you and every stroke is a fight to push him further down. champions are those who learn to break their demons because come race day when that third 500 starts to scream and for everyone else the thoughts are getting louder and louder but a champion already knows how to beat that voice, they have spent their summers beating that little voice into submission in the back of their minds and when everyone else starts to hurt they are able to sit up tall and give that little bit extra. other rowers are easy to conquer, its our own heads we have to work at

One of the unique aspects of rowing is that novices strive to perfect the same motions as Olympic contenders. Few other sports can make this claim. In figure skating, for instance, the novice practices only simple moves. After years of training, the skater then proceeds to the jumps and spins that make up an elite skater’s program. But the novice rower, from day one, strives to duplicate a motion that he’ll still be doing on the day of the Olympic finals.

Rowing causes a lot of pain. We hate it for that but we also kind of love it for that. Think about rowing without the pain, it wouldn’t be such a passion and love.
