January Practice Schedule
January 16: Technique and conditioning
January 23: Technique, conditioning and steering clinic
January 30: Orientation
-Now is a good time to recruit like-minded athletes to join Dragonboating- as we will be spending a good amout of time going over our technique. Perfecting what you already know, and bringing everyone together with same style and rhythm.
Once we get into the hard training leading up to Tempe and beyond, the learning curve will increase and new folks will be timid to continue.
So recruit now, and bring them out this month leading to the formal orientation of everything they need to know about Dragonboating on January 30th.
Our technique practices this month will include video and one-to-one coaching.
You will get to see what you are doing, as well as what we want everyone to do- then get back out and try it immediately. We will be focusing on a more hands-on process, whereby we will sit behind you when necessary and actually "manipulate" you to the proper technique to help you feel what we are looking for.
If your preferred method of learning is reading about the stroke, or seeing photos, or seeing it in action, be sure to tell us as, we all have a variety of ways to get the point across.
