The Oarsome Rowing Day is designed to fit within a larger team development program or to be a stand alone team building session. Rowing is the ultimate team sport and a very versatile activity. In order for crews to go fast the whole crew must work together, if one person makes a mistake or is out of time everyone is impacted. For your team to perform well they must work together, focus on their performance whilst learning from and helping each other. How the individuals communicate, give feedback, help or blame others is critical to their success or failure.
Depending on the current needs of your team the day can be shaped and debriefed differently to achieve the outcomes that you require. Normally the day would start with a workshop style session to highlight the key issues and points that we are going to work on. The water session will then be debriefed around these same issues and the team will leave with the actions and behaviours that are necessary to make their ‘boat go faster’.

The aim of taking you rowing is not to find new Olympic Rowers but to look at how your team functions. Rowing is a very safe activity where no level of physical strength or fitness is required. The aim is to get you working together not working hard. The only thing that will determine how fast you go is how well you work together. If you want to exhaust yourself you can pull very hard, if you are feeling tired, simply pull less hard or stop. |
