Ok, time to post something related to dragonboat. Not so sure if this is tested and proven but maybe something worth a read. =)
- Heads Up.
- Don't watch the paddler in front, move with body in front and watch top hand.
- Practice long distance continuous paddling.
- Get rid of people with big egos or super type As who always put their head down and paddle madly out of sync when you aren't looking or in a race.
- Get a coach who will correct anyone when they get out of sync.
- Have a common technique for the entire crew.
- Reshuffle paddlers within the boat who can't be in sync with the strokes to a better position.
- Recover with bottom hands rising to the catch (gives crew a chance to sync up - don't go right in)
- Use a common paddle for the crew.
- Pushing hard and raising intensity during training without raising stroke rate - teaches stroke rate control while changing power and intensity.
