    #69.Connection vs Power

    In this month’s podcast, we break down one of the most misunderstood concepts in paddling performance — connection vs power. Most paddlers chase power. Few understand connection. We explain why what happens before the paddle enters the water determines how much speed you actually produce. True efficiency starts with body alignment, sequencing, and muscle activation — not brute force. We also share simple visualisation cues and activation drills to help you feel real connection through the leg drive, hips, and core. If you want smoother speed and less wasted effort, this episode is for you. For our Subscribing members, the video of this podcast has been uploaded to the FB Community Page.

    #66.Holding Opposite Rotation

    Want more power at your catch? Holding your opposite rotation might just be the key. By keeping pressure in that opposite leg drive, you can hold off early rotation and early leg drive. This way, you’ll capitalize on 100% rotation and strength from catch to exit. Check out Paddle 2 Fitness Podcast #66 for more insights on maximising your stroke.

    This month we pair two parts of your stroke together so to help remind you of whats happening at the catch, stroke and exit. We hope that these three pairs will help you create a better activation and remember to focus on boat run through the transition phase / between strokes. Happy Paddling, Coach
