Dear Friends, Colleagues!
I am Gennadii Ochkalenko, Rowing Coach.
Have been in Rowing since 1968
Coaching since 1975.
I would like to propose a completely New Rowing Direction for Masters’ Rowers.
Why a Masters’ Team, Club?
I’ve approached regular clubs, universities, juniors several times.
But they’re all focused on victories, medals, points, rankings, and so on.
Their work is judged solely by these metrics only.
Masters, on the other hand, have significantly more freedom in their actions; they plan their activity independently.
This isn’t a gamble; I’ve been thinking about and planning this program for many years.
I am also no longer a young man and I am responsible for my words and actions.
I’ve discussed it with FISA officials. The response was favorable, but they’d like to see samples.
Therefore, I need people to implement this program.
This doesn’t require any competition between participants, but it’s new, beautiful, exciting, and suitable for all ages.
The competitive element is losing popularity in the sports market.
People want something new.
I hope the veterans will be able to demonstrate all of this to the youth.
Any rowing equipment is suitable for participation; no expensive, latest-gen brands are required.
It does not require any special physical or anthropometric data, nor does it require grueling high-intensity sessions, similar to those for racing.
Additionally, if needed, I could also be of assistance as:
- Competitive Coach
- Recreational Coach
- Skilled Boatman
For individual sessions, who will need it.
Besides, I am a qualified Coach for People with Limited Physical Opportunities (Visually Impaired and Amputee Rowers), who can participate in the program equally with everyone else.
Have extensive international experience.
Due to certain circumstances, I would like to offer my program to European clubs and teams first and foremost.
I
will be ready to immediately provide detailed information to interested people and answer their questions.
So, who will agree to open a new direction in our sport?
Thank you for your time and understanding.
Sincerely,
Gennadii Ochkalenko,
International Rowing Coach.
