It’s one of the most common yet overlooked faults in rowing technique: rushing into the catch. From eager novices to elite athletes chasing precision, this habit creeps in—and it costs speed, rhythm, and recovery. In this episode, we unpack what “rushing the catch” really means, why it appears across various experience levels, and how it disrupts both boat feel and stroke efficiency.
You'll hear coaching insights, athlete experiences, and practical techniques to restore control and timing in your recovery phase. Additionally, we've curated a companion video collection for Decent Rowing Members that visually breaks down the problem—and the solution—so you can grasp the concepts both on and off the water.
