July 2020 Rowing Camp

Cancelled

In light of the recent developments, I have decided to cancel the July 2020 camp and reimburse the participants. The Czech Republic has declared a state of emergency today and is severely restricting travel to and from the Czech Republic to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

For the August camp, I am continuing to monitor the situation. Please contact me for any questions.

Brno, 12 March 2020

Introduction

This rowing camp runs from July 4 to July 9. The price includes three rowing sessions per day including video review and rowing data analysis, 5 hotel nights including breakfast, lunch at the rowing venue, a “rowing with data” workshop, and a closure party at the rowing venue.

Each rowing day (Sunday thru Wednesday), there will be two rowing sessions with coaches in launches and one individual session. In the morning session, your stroke will be filmed. After this session, coaches are available at the club house to do technique analysis with you using the video and rowing data.

This camp takes place just before the Czech International Masters Open Regatta. This regatta is one of the largest Masters regattas in Europe and has participants from all over Central Europe, as well as The Netherlands.

 

Rowing Data

We will have Quiske sensors and Empower Oarlocks with NK SpeedCoach available. The Empower/SpeedCoach combination measures your catch angle, finish angle, force curve, power, and other parameters. The Quiske pod measures the boat acceleration and oar angles. Combined with video analysis, this is a powerful way to analyse technique, find opportunities for improving boat speed. Doing the analysis will give you target metrics to focus on during the subsequent sessions. The direct feedback in the boat allows you to double the technique improvements you can achieve in one week, compared to conventional coaching.
