Rowing books

Rowing Faster

by: Volker Nolte
This book is fun to read and has a lot of useful tips. I'd recommend it for anyone who's into rowing. I'm basically a beginner (1 year of rowing), so it was useful for me, but there was plenty of advanced stuff, as well as information for coaches and coxswains.

However, I have two criticisms of this book. First, it's essentially a compilation of essays about rowing, so it lacks unity or a coherent order to it. Thus, it's not as navigable as, say, a "Rowing for Dummies" book would be if they made one.

The Art of Sculling

by: Joe Paduda
This is probably the best book I have read to date on sculling. It is geared toward the novice and treats you as an intelligent reader.

I have been sculling for the last 6 months, so I am a newbie to the sport. The information contained in this book is wonderfully presented and arranged. It is easy and enjoyable to read.

For those of you interested in training this book lays down a good base with which to further your skills and performance.

I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in rowing.

Mind Over Water: Lessons on Life from the Art of Rowing

by: Craig Lambert
Every so often I find a book that actually opens my eyes. Craig Lambert's "Mind Over Water" is one of those books. When I was first given it, I wondered what a memoir about rowing would have to say to me when the closest I'd ever gotten to rowing was riding in a glass-bottomed boat one summer in childhood. Within the first three pages, I understood. And I was hooked. It's hard to call a meditative memoir a page-turner, but this one is. I hated putting the book down, so hungry was I for Lambert's next graceful thought, his next provocative insight, his next flash of wicked humor.

Yoga For Rowers: Building Physical & Mental Strength

by: Chrys Kozak
Incredible!! Yoga has been overlooked as a training method for rowers for too long. This book is something every rower can benefit from. The author breaks down the rowing stroke into 4 stages and shows specific poses for each stage. The photos are full color, they're big and the instructions are easy to follow. I highly recommend this book!
