Rowing and Sculling

The person who steers the boat is called a cox, the person who sets the pace is called stroke, then the person behind is called 3 seat, the person behind 3 seat is called 2 seat and then at the back is bow.

To win in rowing, you have to be both physically and mentally prepared as a team. You have to believe you can win. Depending on the race and your opponents, it can take a lot of work to be up to speed with the competetion. Once you are ready to race (after much training), it takes some strategy, power, and resolution to finish the race with a gold medal. The coxswain needs to steer a straight course for the rowers. Although you can overcome a problem with this, it makes it much more difficult and discouraging to see that you're going in and out of your lane or swerving from one side to the other. Another of the coxswain's responsibilities is the race plan. This should include knowing when to call power strokes and other commands in order to get the maximum power out of the rowers while still leaving enough energy to finish the race. Motivation is key for a coxswain - different teams respond differently to different styles of coxing, so it's the coxswain's job to know what the best way to cox a race is. The rest is left up to the rowers - it takes both physical and mental strength, concentration, and ability to win a race. Starting a race feels easy, especially when the technique of a boat is good and it is 'set up', or not wobbling from side to side. Physical strength and proficiency of technique make the boat move fast in the start of the race, and can put you ahead of the game right away. Once the first 500 meters or so are passed, though, it starts getting tough. This is where the mental aspect must come in. Focus and concentration are definitely key aspects of finishing a race strong. Technique starts getting sloppy as the rower's legs start to burn and they start breathing raw air. Your view should be mind over matter here - you will want to stop and you will want to be able to breathe in gasps. You have to be able to control this and focus on your technique and power instead. Are you getting your full reach? Are you pulling your best strokes? Are you jumping at the catch? Another important thing - leave it to the coxswain to focus on other boats. Your ears, eyes, and mind should stay in your own boat. Just put your head down and pull; forget about the other boats in the race. You're racing for yourself, and your teammates, not for the rowers in the other boats. In the final 500m of the race, you need to pick it up. Believe you can win, even if the coxswain says you're behind. You have to pull as hard as you can. Keep your technique as good as it can get, and build the boat speed with your team. Make the boat feel light by rowing at the same exact time, don't let your timing mess up. The final sprint should be as fast as the start, if not faster. This is when the race is actually won. Never stop believing, and don't stop rowing until you're sure you're finished. I personally have had my boat stop rowing before the race was done because we heard the final horn blow behind us. It turned out that it was a boat that was about three seconds ahead of us that had crossed the finish at that moment. It's the best feeling in the world to win races, but to win, you have to be able to do all of the above things as a team. Just rememeber - pain is temporary, pride is forever!

The most effective way to use a rowing machine is to start at a decent level of resistance, not too high or low. Slowly work on up until greater resistances are atttained, without causing damage.

It is the LEANDER rowing club. (It is based in Henley-upon-Thames in England).

To draw the simplest form of snowflake, begin with a straight horizontal line, and cross it with a straight vertical line, forming a "plus" sign. Next, add two lines angled at 45 degrees in both directions through the centre line (they would form an "X" if not on top of the "+"). Voila! You have a snowflake. To draw more complicated ones, try printing one off the internet and copying it a bunch of times until you can draw it from memory. If you want to create your own snowflake, fashion a paper snowflake and trace it! You're snowflake will be different from every other snowflake!

Begin the stroke by sliding all the way forward, so that your shins are perpendicular to the ground (at a 90 degree angle). Your back should be leaning forward, but it should not be hunched. Your arms should be straight forward, parallel to the ground with your hands near the ends of the handle. Your fingers should be holding the handle like a claw; there is no reason to death grip the handle. This is called the catch. You must then 'jump' with the legs, without moving the back or arms, beginning the drive. When your knees are almost flat, your back should pull until you are leaning back slightly (not straight up, and not laying down). Again, when your back is nearly finished, you complete the stroke by pulling your arms into your chest, about a fist's width above your belly button. This is called the finish or the release. The recovery should be done more slowly than the drive. The fastest part of the recovery is the arms; they should go back out almost immediately after they are pulled in. Imagine your arms then pulling your torso back into it's previous, leaned over position. When the back is set, then you should slide s l o w l y back into the catch, and repeat.

get absolutley wasted off alcohol the night before and detox during the regatta you will go 5-10 sec faster than you did before. TRUST ME!! Mahe Drysdale did that at the Olympics that's why he was spewing and looked like crap all the time and he came away with a bronze that's pretty good if you ask me.

Because if you translate the words Sunday and oxford into numbers -

Sunday - 19+21+14+4+1+25=74

Oxford - 16+24+6+16+18+4=74

Sound ridiculous but its true AMAZING!!

skulling or crew

sits at the back of the boat?

a crew, a boat, a lineup, a rowing team are all commonly used by athletes in the sport. I'm a 4 year rower and we call it just simply "crew" and when we refer to the people in our boat we call it "our boat". A lineup is the allotmant of people from bow to stroke seat.

*First make 2 circles side my side

*then, put 4 dots in each circle

*next make a tongue inbtween

You just draw from your heart and it should work move your pencil as you heart says to move it and it should come to be a wonderful drawing!!

I draw dogs by first drawing lightly an outline of the dog most people do shapes and stuff but that's to hard . After you draw the out line of the dog just fill it in like a coloring page!

first draw a cave with a rock on top then draw a stick man with no arms then put eyes on the bottom of the face then in that cave he had lots of flies in the morning he had bacon so draw streaky bacon on top of the rock then to the bottom of the cave he also had eggs draw eggs inside the rock and then you have a dog face

if you mean eights or pairs, than eights are faster BY FAR. Although the boat is bigger and heavier, having 4x times the man power and 4x the oars propels the boat throughout the water much faster than a boat with only 2 people and 2 oars.

about half a hour to 45 minutes depending on your fitness levels.

alot of people see height as an advantage in netball and 9 times out of 10 if there are two exact same players with the exact same skills the taller player will be chosen. being a small netballer wont stop you playing netball it just means you have to be the best to get into a team.
