Coaching Rowing Technique Using the Erg

Bill Manning, Harvard University freshman heavyweight coach and coach of the Olympic Men's pair in 2004, is a regular presenter at the USRowing Annual Convention. In his presentation, Manning explains how the erg is an excellent way to teach the fundamental concepts of moving a boat and should not be considered just a training tool. We have adapted his convention presentation into a Video. This Video is an great tool for all coaches who have their athletes use the erg, from varsity athletes to novice youth, to adults in a learn to row class.
