Virtual Team Training

This highly interactive, virtual two week introduction to rowing is intended for new rowers or those who have not yet had the benefit of professional instruction. Sessions will be conducted Live through Zoom and all athletes will have access to a recorded version of that session for the duration of the program. Participation during the live session is encouraged for those whose availability aligns with the recording, but certainly not required. Video of each session will be available shortly after recording and can be accessed as frequently as needed and will continue to be accessible for up to two weeks following the conclusion of the program.

Each session will focus on developing and reinforcing the fundamental mechanics of the stroke, efficient and effectice power application, and establishing a relaxed and sustainable rhythm. Athletes are encouraged to take and submit video of their rowing each session, which will be reviewed daily by the coach with personalized feedback and guidance based on that video to be delivered as appropriate. Questions to the coach can be submitted by video, text or email throughout the session.

Each week will include 4 practices, one each on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings. All sessions will be coached by Travis Gardner, veteran sculler and coach with six National titles (three each as athlete and coach) and two indoor rowing world records.
