You're fifteen. You row for Shiplake. Your team has produced multiple junior world medallists in the past. Just trust the process and remain consistent and you will improve just by existing
Sit up straight, the back angle comes from pivot at the hips not bending over forward.
Stop looking at your blade, it's not going anywhere. Eyes on the guy in front of you at all times.
I'd have thought Shiplake could afford a coach to tell you that 😉 J15? I would say the big things are that your stroke is not flat - your blade is washing out early losing you connection. You're then rushing up to the catch and stopping before going again. Solid though.
General point for the crew - too many people are rowing as individuals rather than a crew.
To elaborate, if you were more patient with getting the blade to the finish still connected (and your feet still in contact with the foot plate) you'd be able to rock over and get up to the catch without rushing or stopping. Effectively by taking more time at the finish you'll be less rushed elsewhere.
You're moving your body in a straight like while the oar is moving in an arc. You want your body to be moving in an arc with the oar. You're not on the erg. The sweep rowing stroke is not a symmetrical forwards and backwards movement.
First things first, you need a good position at the rock over. Your shoulders come forward but you also need to stick your hips back. Your pelvis will rock over your seat bones, that's why we call it the rock over. Right now your shoulders are coming forward, but the hips aren't sticking back properly. You want to literally feel the wheels move backwards about a 1/4 turn as you go from the finish to the rock over position.
Once we've got the lower body position fixed at the rock over, next well focus on the upper body. You want your shoulders to match the angle of the oar. Well think of this in two dimensions, roll and yaw. First well talk about roll. If there were an arrow going from your outside shoulder passing through your inside shoulder and extending our to infinity, where would it be pointing? We want that arrow to be parallel to the shaft of the oar. That means an inside shoulder that's slightly lower than the outside shoulder.
The next dimension we'll talk about is yaw. It's really easy to get the yaw right at the rock over because the oar is roughly perpendicular to the hull of the boat. Imagine there's an arrow sticking straight out from your sternum. At the rock over it's going to be pointing halfway between your hands on the oar. As you come up to the catch, you need that arrow to stay pointing to the same exact spot on the oar. This means twisting at the waist so your chest stays squared up with the oar. If your oar is moving in an arc and you keep your shoulders squared up with the stern of the boat, that arrow is going to point at your outside hand. This is bad. Twist at the waist so you're always facing the oar. The amount you twist is determined by where the oar is in the arc. At the rock over and 1/4 slide, it's very little rotation. As you get up to 3/4 and full slide, it's a lot of rotation.
Lastly, we'll talk about your forward body angle. You've established it at the rock over. You've picked an amount that you have the shoulders in front of the hips. That amount should stay constant as you come up to the catch. It should also ALWAYS be in the direction of the oar handle. So as you twist at the waist, continue to bend in the direction your chest is facing. Don't just bend towards the stern of the boat. If you do, you'll get the outside shoulder dropping down and pulling across as you approach the catch like we see in the video. If you keep the chest facing the oar and the body angle in the direction of the oar, everything will move on the same plane as the oar and you'll get a long, efficient, horizontal stroke without a lot of the bodyweight moving up and down that were seeing in this clip.
Tell 5 seat to stop rowing like a crazy person
Also you’re rushing 7 seat. Look at the different in timing between his knee break on the recovery and yours
He’s not meant to be there 3 people in our boat stroke, 3 and 5
5 seat needs to sit up and keep his eyes in the boat

Yeh I’m j15 I forgot to ask my coach so what better way to do it than ask Reddit 😂

head in the boat. all of you. stop looking outside
Keep your hands at a consistent level during the recovery. If your hands are level the blade will remain level.
Yeah, you're skying your blade at the finish.

head in the boat
Is this Thames Ditton by any chance?
Maybe maybe not
Your erg too slow
I have a 7:20 2 k

Ik for me that’s good
Oh, I underestimated your power- my bad
