Video as Essential Coaching Tool
- Video is the main tool for educating rowers about technique and stroke mechanics.
- Visual feedback helps athletes understand how their rowing looks to coaches, boosting learning efficiency.
Choose Optimal Camera Features
- Use a camera with optical zoom and good image stabilization for filming rowing strokes.
- Phones lack sufficient zoom and stabilization, making them less ideal for capturing rowing footage.
Key Angles and Conditions for Filming
- Film from multiple angles: side perpendicular, behind, and looking down the shaft at the catch.
- Ensure the sun is behind the camera and athletes row with bare shoulders for clearer muscle movement visibility.
