Re: Lawsuits against Rowing Coaches

Sports med and strength staffs are not immune to these suits. If you can find the data, throw those in too. One thing you will 100% see with that group (specifically the medical group) is a dramatic increase in the malpractice coverage. With NIL you can now have millions of dollars of lost wages to...

Re: World Champs

It seems that the weed was quite a big problem at the Holland Beker a week ago. Hope they get it sorted out for the Worlds. The furnace-like weather in Europe recently won't have helped. https://hollandbeker.nl/important-notice-weed-in-the-regatta-course/ It seems that they have dredged extensively...

Re: World Champs

The Dutch system in the US is working 😉 You mean the common sense of picking great talent and letting them find chemistry with each other over many years rather than seat racing the big ergs ad nauseam? ;) does anyone have insight into how much Dutch philosophy has trickled in? Selection? Training?...

Re: GLP1 as a PED

That analysis is for dead weight, not athlete weight. Correct. Deeper dives could be done analyzing placement of that dead weight & the effects on boat speed (bow, stern, waist, feet, etc) It actually reminds me of a paper published a while ago in regards to the negative effects of distal mass ...

Re: US Squad and Racing

What would it take to get the top (East Coast) universities to send their top 3 pairs (and hot shot 1x) Isn't the fall all about small boats anyway? last year there were 40+ club entries in both the M1x and the W1x There were 17 TOTAL 2- entries, almost all of them collegiate. Harvard and La Salle ...

Re: Respiratory Analysis

Wanted to check in since you made that lactate post. Did the ventilatory testing match up as expected against lactate testing? It is interesting, but in ways that are not entirely unexpected. I have only done lactate @ 20 minutes into Z1 (ie below VT1/LT1) - no lactate on step tests. I have been co...

Re: US Squad and Racing

Fall Speed Order has always been small boats. But now who is the national champ? the 1x winner at the summer national championship or the fall? 2x national champions a year is a great way to increase medal hauls over a short career :roll: This just feels like a re-brand of the speed order & offi...

Re: US Squad and Racing

I like the idea that you graduate from college knowing this is your next check-in. Not so far away that you couldn't start thinking about it as a sophomore or junior. Maybe after IRAs take a few weeks off, then plug into one of the HP centers, maybe score a part-time internship if its a place like ...

Re: European Rowing Championships

I know it's only the European Championships but is Simona Radis slowly putting together the most impressive rowing career in history? Who else has won so many boat classes, won doubling up, won sculling and sweeping, and with, from the outside, not the most obviously apparent power/build? She is in...

Re: Amanda Kraus to step down as CEO

121 eligible votes returned out of 275. David received 47 votes, and Gary received 46 votes. Apparently rowing clubs are not a politically active constituency. Why not allow individual members to vote? At least people would feel like they were getting a bit more for their membership dues. I feel li...
