Crew Selection Poll Closed

Let's hope the results of this poll are indicative of common coaching - any comments?

When asked how you would select a novice crew, you responed as follows:

1. Combination of ergs and technique evaluation: 42 votes
2. Seat Racing: 16 votes
3. Weight Adjusted Erg Scores: 6 votes
4. Subjective evaluation of technique: 2 votes
5. Other: 1 vote
6. Raw Erg Scores: 0 votes

I would still guess that lots of coaches would use raw erg scores so this may be a comment on who reads this blog. Still it's encouraging to see how many people want to be as fair as possible.

Crew Selection Poll

To go with the last few posts, we present a poll on crew selection. You don't need to be a coach, just consider what you would do IF you were a coach. I indicated NOVICE just to make the decision a bit more interesting - in that technique would be somewhat more uniform and leaves a coach tempted to assume that they can mold the athlete. We'll say that this is a selection for a race within two months.

Please use the comments section and let us know your rationale.

Poll now closed see next post for results.
