Steven Redgrave's Complete Book of Rowing by Steve Redgrave

Rowing, like golf, is a sport which has one technique for all levels, so this book is designed to be suitable for all rowers, whatever their standard. The author covers all the basic aspects of the sport, from technique to equipment and clothing. He also explains how to get fit for rowing, the tactics and strategies of the different forms of competition, which injuries are specific to rowing and how to prevent them. Chapters on coaching, coxing, the domestic and international scenes, plus an appendix of useful addresses, complete the book.
