| Steven Redgrave's Complete Book of Rowing by Steven Redgrave |

Description Mr Redgrave had won three consecutive Olympic Gold medals in rowing when he wrote this book, and he has just made that five in Sydney. This highlights the depth of his abilities and knowledge on the subject of rowing. The book is basically an idiots guide on how to row. Within it he details not
just how to row, and a large number of useful exercises, but provides chapters

useful elements of the book is a chapter dedicated to common faults, how to
recognise them and how to correct them. |

| Seat with a View: Inside the 1996 U.S. Olympic Men's Crew by Steven C. Segaloff, Mike Spracklen |
|
 |
Description A first-hand look at what it takes to become a member of the U.S. Olympic Team
and the challenges of elite athletics. Seat with a View provides a candid look
at the world of elite rowing. Ride along with Steven "Scrappy" Segaloff as he
steers the U.S. Eight-Man Crew through four seasons of intense training and
racing, including three World Championships and the 1996 Olympic Games. During
his tenure with the National Rowing Team, the crew endures a wide variety of
emotions, from the excitement of capturing a World Championship to the bitter
defeat of losing at the Olympics. Seat with a View takes you behind the scenes
of the U.S. National Rowing Team--in the boat, in the team meetings, and in the
mind of a young man in pursuit of his dream. At a time when most books by
athletes only describe personal triumphs, Seat with a View talks about the other
side of competition--what it means to sacrifice everything you have only to come
up short in the big race. Seat with a View goes beyond winning and losing and
presents an honest discussion about the value of competition itself. |
