Hello everyone,
I'm part of a mens novice four and I've been moved from 3 seat to bow. My coach has said that it's because I'm technically better than my brother who has been rowing for less time than me. I have no problem switching places but I have been told that Bow seat is the hardest seat and that I will be responsible for setting the boat and keeping the rhythm of the boat. Anyway to cut a long story short does anyone have any tips/advice on how to become a good bowman, what to watch out for and in general what I'm supposed to do; other than just row! any advise would be greatly appreciated.
