Here we demonstrate a really useful way to teach an athlete about getting well connected at the catch on an ergo it's by using the rowing and motion app and as you can see here we're indicated we've attached it to the ergo and the ergo has to be on sliders for this to work properly the red line is the average of the last five strokes what we're looking for on the graph and the athlete can watch this as they're rowing which makes it instant feedback for them and makes it very easy for them to make a change you can see where the graph starts here where i've indicated and you can see it's got that little flat point just after the catch so at the catch it's got this little flat piece and the blue line goes up now when ciona changes the technique here she can make the graph go straight up rather than having to have that flat point which means that she's now getting connected you'll find it's very quick for an athlete to pick this up if they can see the graph and all they really need to do is to just be very quick at the catch put their heels down and get well connected right at the beginning
