My name is Cheryl Roose and I am a dragon boat coach. I use the OC1 to develop the blade mechanic drills I incorporate into the dragon boat training.
As a coach I understand the energy systems we use in DB practices and developed the OC1 training program to be the PERFECT accompaniment to your sport!
This program is specifically to be an “ADD IN” to the dragon boat season. You can use it before you are on the dragon boat, between your DB practices and after the dragon boat season has ended as a way to continue paddling and improving your dragon boat stroke!
I wrote an article that explains the value of using the OC1 to cross train the energy system that makes us stronger paddlers. You can read more about it by clicking here.
The technical drills that are in this OC1 training program mirror the sessions of dragon boat paddling.
The drills that accompany this OC1 training program are specifically intended for dragon boaters who want to develop, strengthen and integrate the BODY, BLADE and STROKE mechanics that generate power.
Here are a few of the drills you will find in this program.
The OC1 training program sessions are designed to support your dragon boat training. Too many times we can over train when we cross train and actually exhaust ourselves causing us to under train on the dragon boat.
I recently came across your youtube channel, and have been devouring the videos. I have been especially loving your videos about the RED method of setting up your stroke.
