Rowing Faster is one of the few english-language resources for the competitive rower or coach who is looking to gain a comprehensive understanding of the sport. Especially good are the chapters on training and Mike Teti’s chapter on racing strategy. I’m currently training to be part of the US men’s lightweight team for the 2012 games, and I really like this book. Maybe too much for junior rowers (you don’t want them overthinking it!) but for a coach or an experienced rower it’s worth a read and should be floating around the boathouse. Happy rowing, -Dave
