How to MASTER SCULLING Quickly & Easily

in 8 Logical Steps




Without Anybody Realising What You're Doing







Leading Sculling Expert and author of "How to Win - The Sports Competitor's
Guide to Success", Stephen Walker, reveals the Little Known, 8 Step, Proven
Process for Mastering Sculling – Works even if You've Been Trying for Years
Already!




Did you know that 80% of the training that rowers and scullers do is a waste of
time and effort? Really!




Have you ever wondered why Allyson Felix was able to sprint so fast when she
doesn't look like a body builder and all the other sprinters do?




Are you stuck because you are getting the wrong advice?



Don't let others hold you back







You don't have to be big to be good. You only have to be good.

Don't let people tell you that you are the wrong size or shape.

The training that you do will shape your body and your mind.




In Sculling Academy you will learn about mindset and how to reset it.

You will learn what training methods work and which don't. Stand by to be
surprised.



How NOT to fall in.




Here is a longer version of the video about avoiding capsize that you should
already be familiar with..




The way the course is currently structured you will gain access to a new module
every 7 days! So there is not much time to assimilate and practise what I am
teaching. But you can consume the course at your own pace so hopefully you will
not become overwhelmed by too much information at once! Access to the course is
currently restricted to 1 year.

Look I totally understand







It's not your fault. You've probably heard a million opinions and got plenty of
free advice (usually worth about what you pay for it) and you're more confused
than ever…

That's OK. Successful coaching is what I do, so help is on the way.

Here's the Best System In the World for Mastering Sculling

You could go out and read every book ever written on sculling, spend hours
interviewing successful scullers and actually go out on the water and try to
figure it out for yourself, as I had to do...

But why do that???

...when you can DOWNLOAD this on-line video course that I've already outlined
for you that demonstrates everything I've learned about sculling over the last
50 odd years so that you can master sculling.

You will have the Lazy Sculler's Guide to Mastery ™. The guide that I missed out
on. And you can have it today.

No fluff and no B.S. Just the raw information you need to be able to enjoy
sculling properly and successfully, whatever that means to you. Everybody has
different ambitions. Most people are nowhere near ambitious enough... I wasn't!

Nobody Ever Told Me

For years I used to play around at domestic events when I could have been
competing on an international stage. Nobody ever told me that I could do it. I
just assumed that I couldn't.



I mean, look where I started.




When I went up to the big school after passing my eleven plus exams I was the
third smallest boy in the school. Here's a picture of me in the school swimming
team, which I was only in because I could swim - not because I was any good.




I'm the skinny one in the bottom left hand corner. And whom did I want to look
like? The guy just above and to the right of me with the muscles. I spent my
whole life wanting to look like that guy!




During my twenties I desperately tried to improve my performances by reading,
attending coaching courses, even taking a Physical Education Course after I'd
finished my engineering degree. This quest for “the answer” continued into my
30s and 40s, researching, attending coaching conferences, listening to the top
coaches in the world, many of whom didn't make much sense!




You don't need to do this. I've done it for you.




There's a lot being kept from you that you don't know




You need to appreciate that it isn't going to be easy to master sculling alone.
Turning terror into excitement. There's a trick to that. And I'm going to show
it to you.



Well I've got Good News for You




It doesn't have to be like that. Now, there's an amazing new opportunity. It
wasn't available before. It was all locked away in my head and only a handful of
people whom I coached personally (and some whom I didn't coach) ever got the
benefit of it.

For example, I spent a couple of years sculling alongside my training partner. I
had not been coaching her. We just trained together. And every now and then I'd
ask her what she's thinking about and she'd ask me what I was thinking about.
And maybe we'd stop and have a discussion about some little aspect of technique.

Then one day, out of the blue, she said, “This is the first time in my life that
I feel like I'm sculling properly.” Now she is not in the first flush of youth.
She was an elite sculler and raced at Lucerne Regatta when she was younger. The
point is this: if I can direct your thoughts I can make you improve.



Imagine that you've learned what is important about boats so you don't make the
same mistake that I made, buying one that was not suitable for me and then
wondering why I never really went very fast in it. I mean, when I got my next
boat I went faster than I had done for 13 years! I had just thought that I was
getting old. It never occured to me that it might be my beautiful old boat. And
then when I got the next boat after that I went even faster again because it was
even better suited to me. That shouldn't be possible. You're supposed to get
slower as you get older but I got faster! Just think of all those wasted years.
Those races lost. Opportunities lost. How different could your life be if you
get the right advice.

Imagine that it doesn't matter how poorly rigged your equipment is nor that
nobody around you can help you rig it properly because you've learned how to rig
it yourself so you're no longer dependent upon others!

Imagine that you know a simple secret about training that makes your training
twice as effective as everybody else's training.

Imagine that any problems you had with organisations and leadership don't matter
any more either. Why not? Because you don't need the system when you are a
sculler. You can beat the system. You can go sculling when you want. You can
assess risk yourself.



Technical Accuracy and Precision Reap Rich Rewards




You will learn how to achieve these

Here's what the Course will Do for You

Previous

Overcome Fear




Fear inhibits learning and the fear of falling in prevents many people from
taking up sculling, especially when they see how narrow racing boats are.

Master Technique




Whilst your body is your engine, your technique is your transmission. Don't
waste your valuable effort with inefficient technique. Learn to be efficient.

Learn How to Race to Win




Racing is the best training for racing. But how do you ensure you are totally
prepared for a race? I'll teach you racecraft.

Choose the Right Boat




Your boat should fit you like a Saville Row Suit. I wasted 13 of my best years
because a boat builder sold me a boat that was fundamentally unsuitable for me!

Learn to Rig it




There are so many possible adjustments that it is easier to get it wrong than
right. I'll show you how to do it.

Learn Effective Training Methods




There is a lot of tripe talked about training and so a huge amount of time is
wasted doing the wrong things. From now on training will be a joy.

The Truth about Ergos




You'll discover how to beat an ergo World Record holder. I did. On the water,
easily! Learn the good, the bad and the ugly facts about ergos.

Fitness is useless without health




Health & fitness are often mentioned in the same breath but they are distinct
and you will learn to differentiate between them so you are healthy when you
need to perform.

Despite joining a rowing club, and learning to row, I struggled to find good
advice for progressing in the single scull.

Fortunately I found Sculling Academy!

I instantly had answers to all of the questions I was too afraid or unable to
ask, and I began to gain in confidence.

Whilst sculling requires commitment and perseverance, it is also vital that you
have the right guidance. Sculling Academy has given me this guidance.

Thank you, Steve.

Ironbridge Rowing Club

I returned to sculling in 2018, aged 52, having last been in a rowing or
sculling boat almost 30 years earlier.

As a sixth former and then undergraduate I had done a lot of sweep oared rowing,
but a limited amount of sculling, most of which I had forgotten.

I had sourced myself a stable scull, to get myself started, but not being
attached to a club I needed a learning resource to get myself going again back
on the water.

I found Steve’s Sculling Academy through an online search. I had not initially
budgeted for coaching, on top of my equipment costs, but realised that paying
for one, without the other, was short sighted.

Having taken the plunge and bought the full course I had no regrets. It included
everything, from the very basics of how to get into the boat (having been shown
to actually set it up properly) and the rudimentary components of the stroke,
and advanced techniques, right up to competition tactics and sports theory.

Most importantly, the video format made the material accessible, as against the
written word.

It was also clear from the outset that Steve was somebody with enormous
experience and knowledge, whose wisdom and advice it was going to be safe to
rely on. As someone with a long coaching history he is also a natural
communicator.

Despite learning and training in isolation, by applying what Steve told me I
felt confident enough after a year to trade up my stable boat, to a competition
ready, fine scull. I then mastered that and then felt able to dip my toe back
into the competition scene, renewing a great passion in my life, which had been
in abeyance for three decades and I had not previously anticipated returning to.

I thoroughly recommend his programme for anybody wishing to learn to scull,
either as someone returning to it, a complete novice or someone wanting to
progress from a basic skill level.

Metin Aktay




Hello Stephen, many many thanks for the most instructive video. I row at a club
where I try to think of drills for beginners who ask me for guidance. I'll
definitely recommend the tippity tippity tipping exercise.

Many many thanks once again, not only I now have tips to pass on to beginners,
it also is the first time in 35 years that I ended up learning where to keep my
idle hand , the one holding the flat blade static oar, as I manoeuvre with the
other one. (and the answer is close to my chest).

Cheers,




But this wasn't all that Metin had to say...




A year later he sent me a link to this video of himself.

https://youtu.be/dEt2cDaFw-o

Saying: "My gratitude is sincere, I now like my bladework, thanks to watching
and listening to you. I used to hate the splashy catchy way they were before
your videos... I love being on the water, and now enjoy it more, thanks both to
your teaching, and to your love of sculling which permeates all your teaching."

When I complained that I did not know how he looked beforehand and it was a
shame that we did not have a before and "after" video, he obligingly sent me
another link to a prior video, which sadly is no longer available.

"However, he said:"Please tell me anything else I can do as "satisfied customer
testament" for Sculling Academy.Ever gratefully,

Metin

So, you see, Sculling Academy actually works!

Ron Drake




It behoves many of us to remember that many of our faults require us to go back
to basics and re-engineer our action - I know that I have had to and I don't
mind because as you will see later I have evidence that doing so works!
Much of what you impart also goes well beyond basics eg mental attitude, catch
and components of drive;
Putting some of what you teach (about which I wasn't aware before doing your
course) helped me stroke a MasD/E 4x to victory against crews from Tyne, Tyne
United/Berwick and Chester le Street (crews with local knowledge) in a four
laner at Tees Regatta last Saturday in appalling head wind conditions in which
steady getting good clean long entries, secure catch and accelerating drive with
good bladework were at a premium - so many thanks!
Regards

The late, great Stephen Orova




Steve,

You created the best sculling video, I have been rowing, in
Hungary,France,Switzerland actively as competitor Coached colleges in America 30
years, 2 years in Italy as national coach,(1970) Since 76, as summer work in a
children camp as director of all water activities in Lakeville CT (Camp Sloane)
the basic Sculling teaching is one of my very important concern, we have about
250 young children learning the proper way,during 9 weeks. I have helping to
teach usually have former or active rowers .

Your detailed explanation is very impressive. Thank you, I am in Florida during
winter. I will stay in contact. Camp Sloane is one of the only YMCA camp with
rowing program I started it.

Bill Edwards




"Stephen, This video is by far the best introduction to sculling I have ever
viewed. I have had several coaches over the years and none of them have
explained the little details that are depicted in your instruction. A 1000 thank
yous !!!"

Harold Barnes




Hi Stephen!

I have spent hours and hours on the internet searching for rowing instruction.
Your program, is far and away the best one out there and I would highly
recommended it to anyone who wants to learn to scull.
Your videos are just the ticket!! Not only is the information useful, it is
critical. I have only been in the scull two times so far, with my heart in my
mouth. Your instruction will make it so much easier! I can’t wait to get to the
lake this afternoon. Down in Chile at the moment…

The other good thing and perhaps the best thing about your videos is the way you
present the material. Kind, confident, you give your “can do” attitude to your
students. It is like, “Hay, come on, we will do this together, no problem.” I
realise that Rome was not built in a day. That’s the joy of it!! We all have
something to work towards. Let me eat this cake first and I will shout for the
Scullers Guide to Mastery soon enough.

I am a 60 yr. old Yank, semi-retired surgeon, who is, if I don’t say so myself.
in pretty good shape and I see myself racing one day. I look forward to our new
friendship and hopefully some day over a pint or two. Not too many, not good for
the bod.

Thanks so much, I will be sure to keep posting comments.
Cheers
My friends call me Bill

Manuel M. Urquiza Estrada




I am fascinated with the first introductory videos.
They really give a lot of details and in a very easy way.
Thanks for the patience in explaining every thing.
My best.

George HOLUBEC




Thanks for the eMail and the very fine program.

The drills you have are very fine but they are numerous enough that I have

a hard time recalling them all once I get out on the water. Please do let me
know if you have them

summarized anywhere in text. If you don't, no worries, I'll go ahead and do the
summaries myself.

(Perhaps I'll have to laminate them to keep them dry.)

Anyways this is a wonderful course. I started sculling last year in earnest,
though this year I finally

did get hold of a boat all of my own. You are the first coach and instructor to
state that there is overlap

between the motion of the arm legs and body, which one could plainly see from
videos of accomplished

scullers that this is indeed the case. However it seems to be always denied by
all other coaches.

Speak to you later Steve. By the way, I'm also an Electrical Engineer.

All the best!

World Masters - Budapest

How Ewa Marcinkowska got to race at the World Masters Regatta in less than 12
months







You can do this provided you are over 28. Check out the video:

https://share.voomly.com/v/4rDQqBDod

Here is an example of what is achievable if you only try. I set a goal of
attending the World Rowing Masters Regatta in Budapest in 2019, with Ewa
Marcinkowska. She started in a Nordic Explorer, https://ahoy-boats.biz/nordic,
graduated to a TS515 Training Scull with stabilisers, https://ahoy-boats.biz/
and then moved on to fine boats. You have to be in it to win it. Ewa had never
rowed nor sculled before meeting me so it was a steep learning curve for her.
But we made it and we didn't come last :-) The journey is more important than
the destination. In fact the journey IS the destination.



The Swedes hailed me as an Alchemist







I've been rowing and coxing and coaching since 1969 so I guess it is hardly
surprising that the Swedes hailed me as an Alchemist, turning lead into gold.
Check out the video:

https://share.voomly.com/v/DxhOJprIc

I love coxing. It's so much more than just steering and shouting. And with my
years of sculling experience I can feel what a crew needs as well as see it so
that in a very short time I can indeed turn a scratch crew into a team that
feels like it has been rowing together for months.



90-Day Money Back Guarantee




And to make it really easy for you to move forward with this, I’m offering an
incredible 100% risk-free guarantee.

When I Had My Own Lightbulb Moment

I was already a coach when I encountered the New Zealand coach, Harry Mahon, who
famously helped to coach the first Great British eight to win the Olympics for
80 years! Sadly Harry, has died since but his legacy lives on in those whom he
coached and in people like me who heard and understood what he had to say.
However, I still hadn't yet realised my own potential as an athlete.




It wasn't until I went to publish my book, “HOW TO WIN – The Sports Competitors
Guide to Success” and had to draw conclusions from all the chapters that I'd
written that I had my own "Ah Ha" moment. I suddenly realised what I had to do.
It was simply to do what I'd been recommending everybody else to do, in my book.
Obvious really.




After this breakthrough I did it.




I succeeded (albeit a bit late in life).




I competed on an equal footing with former internationals and beat some of them,
even an Olympian. And I'm only a little guy, a super-lightweight: 5'6” on a good
day and only 63kg when I'm on form.




[Caveat: Now I'm not saying that if you invest in the Lazy Sculler's Guide to
Mastery ™ you will be certain to beat allcomers. After all I don't know anything
about you. But I am saying that if you follow the guidelines that I give you
then you will be able to achieve mastery in this great sport.],



Do You Believe that I Could Get You to Become a World Champion in a One Hour
Long Lesson?




Of course not! That would be ridiculous. You might not even want to go there.
And if you don't you won't. You have to believe you can first.




So What Can You Believe?




Can you believe that if you follow my instructions you might eventually be able
to scull perfectly one day?




And do you believe that if you could do this, then it would help you to win
competitions, if that were what you wanted to do? You're damn right it would
help. Why? Because when you scull perfectly you allow the boat to move in the
most efficient way.




But you don't need to be a competitive person to experience the joy of sculling
perfectly. Like you don't need to be Casanova to enjoy sex.

I'll show you a simple 8 step process, that I use myself, to take your sculling
up to the next level.




Listen, if you wanted to walk through a mine field, would you rather do it by
yourself or would you rather follow somebody who'd done it a hundred times
before?




You can jump the learning curve here.
