TAKE YOUR PADDLING TO THE NEXT LEVEL | DieselFish Dragon Boat Team | San Jose, Peninsula, San Francisco Bay Area

My dragon boat coach helped me make a paddling breakthrough. Read on to learn more. [5 SECOND READ]


“Alex, try flaring your elbow out less,” said Coach Jerry during a practice session.

“Less?” I replied, unsure of the change.

“Yeah. You’re flaring too much. Excess body movement slows you down.”

“OK, I’ll try,” I said. And you know what?

IT WORKED.

This slight tweak allowed me to exit my paddle from the water faster. My strokes became quicker and more efficient.

YES.

This breakthrough was the result of personalized coaching.

The best way to iron out the kinks in your technique is to have a coach who watches you and provides thoughtful analysis. Personalized feedback makes all the difference.

You just need to find a coach who will work with you one-on-one.

“Alex, I want you to use your knees more,” said Akash.

“My knees?” I replied.

“Yeah. That’ll increase your power and reduce your excess body movements.”

“OK, here goes nothing,” I said. And you know what?

IT WORKED.

My strokes got stronger as soon as I engaged my knees.

This tiny change increased the power of my leg drive and prevented me from wriggling around.

WOW.
