Cushioned shoes are designed to absorb impact. If your goal is competitive performance, don't put a power sponge between you and the machine. It's that simple.

The ability to row feet out with equivalent power output is essential for any athlete that is seeking to perform at a high level on the water. Incorporate it into all low stroke rate rowing (but be careful those first few strokes.)

______________________________________

My name is Travis. Fifteen years ago I was a pretty fast rower, then life happened. Now I'm 38, father to a 3 year old, and starting a new career. I've spent 12 years as a professional rowing coach helping athletes unlock their potential.

A year ago I was 204 lbs and struggling with numerous health issues. Now I'm at 172 lbs and much healthier, but the struggle is real and I'm taking it one day at a time. Target weight is 150 lbs (I'm 5'8") while eating as much as I want, when I want.

Welcome to my journey.

This vlog will chronicle my training and my return to a healthy and fit lifestyle. I hope that by sharing my experience and insights, you may find it easier to achieve success on your own journey. It'll also help keep me accountable :)
