Steering
Oar in hand, eyes on the prize, on the way to victory!
Steering isn’t something you learn overnight. For everyone, it’s a process of getting used to, and often, it’s something new. To master steering, it’s a matter of “just doing it.” You learn it through the experiences you gain during training.
However, if you want to steer in competitions or at the club level, you need more knowledge about steering. It’s important that, in addition to giving commands, you also understand the rowing technique of the rowers. From the boat, you often see things differently than from the shore. You support the coaches in this. As an experienced coxswain, you’re crucial in races. You learn how to guide a crew through a race, ensuring that the rowers don’t give up and push themselves to the limit. These skills can be learned through various courses.
