Feedback - Practice 06NOV2009
Welcome back!
The 2009-2010 season has started… indoor practice has begun! I’m glad that we had a great turn-out for last Friday’s practice. For those that couldn’t make it, we went back to basics and focus a lot on using our shoulders/back for an efficient stroke. The pace was very slow… so that we can emphasize more on our errors which Melissa gave us feedback on it and it also gave us time to focus on which muscles that we were working on. I know that for myself, I’m still feeling the effect of practices!
Here’s a video that Melissa wants us to check-out: 2008 Olympics Canoe. Have a look before next practice… I have a feeling that Melissa is going to ask us about it!
Here’s another video that Melissa posted on her FB of 2009 DB World Championships - 200m Open Finals. Look at the pace that these teams are doing… but, also look at their strokes and their synchronization. Like WOW!
Take care!

Just realize something. Those Dragon boat in China has a super huge head and tail. And it has so much room that the drummer and steerer can sit comfortably in the boat
