Are you looking for more information about rowing and coaching?

The history of coaching rowing shows a strong link between successful coaches coming from successful programs. No mystery there; they took the winning practices of their coaches and continued them at another program. Now coaches have more resources available to them through the Web, books, DVDs and clinics.

Share with us a book you have read that helped you become a better coach or a Web site that has provided you with some valuable information.
