The club can feel proud of another first in its history of home grown talent success following Clio's recent invitation to attend the National Junior Potentials training camp at Holme Pierrepoint, Nottingham.
This was the first camp in the winter programme and was an important chance for the National Junior Coach to take a look at the top 42 girls who could potentially be successful at selection trials later in the season. Many of their coaches also attended and the girls were split in to compatible groups of five. There then followed three intensive and painful days of training: outings in single sculls, ergos, runs, physio sessions, stretching exercises, not to mention the technical lectures in between.
Congratulations too, to Chris J who was intrusted with a group to coach for the whole three days, each sculler needing their own individual assessments and coaching points to work on during the technical outings as well as the final day head race and side by side races.
Both Chris and Clio returned on the Monday afternoon tired from a heavy weekend in different ways, but sharing some invaluable experiences from working at the national team level. I'm sure they would be really happy to tell you more...if you can catch either of them when they aren't either training or racing, that is!
Well done and we look forward to hearing more about junior trials as the season progresses...
