Junior Men 's Winter High Performance Camp, December 4-6
The US Junior Men’s National Team held their Winter High Performance Sweep Camp in Sarasota, Florida December 4-6. This was an ‘invitation only’ camp, and Coach Colin Campbell invited 16 oarsmen and 4 coxswains to participate this year.
The Winter Sweep High Performance Camp served as an opportunity for the Junior National Team Coaches to work with a select group of athletes (those returning from last year’s Junior National Team, top performers from the Development Camp, and others identified by the coaches) early in the process and is a key step in preparing athletes for selection camp and for racing at the international level.
The camp is designed to set up the athletes to train effectively in the months between the HPC and the start of Selection Camp, so that they arrive at camp in June prepared for rigors of selection and capable of generating the speed that will put them on the medal stand in August.
Each athlete received reference materials to inform his training throughout the winter and the spring, will identify and practice the technical elements needed to move boats effectively at international speed, and will evaluate his current strengths and weaknesses relative to the demands of international competition.
Below you will find some of the reference material that Coach Campbell presented:
