World Indoor Rowing Championships Success
I contacted Neil in December of 2023 after the GB Indoor Rowing championships to provide me with the technical advice that I felt my rowing was missing. I was rowing at a very high drag factor and my technique was lacking in a number of areas.
Neil was able to provide detailed video analysis that analyzed videos of my rowing and gave specific things to work on to improve my rowing technique and the force that I was able to put into the machine.
Rowing Training Plan
An interesting rowing program allowed me to work on the different aspects of fitness and energy systems I would need to compete in the World Rowing Championships in Prague at the end of February 2024. I had followed an internet course in preparing for the GB championships but with Neil’s help and program I was able to take significant steps forwards in the months before the World Championships knocking a chunk of time off my personal best and getting me into my best shape ever ready for Prague.
2K and 1K Row Racing Tactics
Neil also provided tips on racing tactics and preparing for the race. All very useful information. I feel that having Neil as my coach was what I needed to take the next step in my rowing journey. Finishing 11th in the World Championships after coming 5th in the GB championships. I then continued with Neil for the 2024 1000m virtual sprints in March 2024 and came 8th in my age group out of 916 competitors.
