(More customer reviews)Awesome read is what this is. Many thanks to coach Dennis Tarnopolsky for telling me to have a read of it. It is well-written and easily digested without being too simplified. Gets to the point in a crisp clear manner about all things dragon boat related - so much so that you just want to get out there, grab that paddle, jump in the boat and have a fine time working out the stroke mechanics, timing, power and endurance with your team. I truly appreciate the comprehensive approach taken here and I have since introduced it to as many folks as I can find both home and abroad. Excellent job, and my paddle is raised high for the authors. They have fuelled my passion for this sport even more than I had expected "from a book". But great books tend to do that! It is a must-read for all dragonboaters - especially folks who are getting into coaching. Excellent starting point and springboard for more in-depth learning. ......BUY IT! :)
