How can NK products help your program acheive its goals?

The NK Speed Coach would be hugely beneficial for our team because we would love to add more sculling into our practices. At this time, when we take our quads, doubles, and singles, we have no way to tell what our stroke rate is in each boat. Our team is very young because we have been heavily recruiting 8th grade and 9th grade girls, so they have not yet learned how to manage their rating and successfully hold a stroke rate without a cox box. Sculling will help so many of the girls technically so that they are better sweep rowers. NK equipment will help the First Row team become more competitive and be better athletes. Because we are becoming better athletes, more girls will have the opportunity to row in college and obtain a scholarship. These are two huge goals of the First Row team, and NK can help us achieve them.

Successful first Spring race of 2018! Congrats to all girls who rowed at Pittsburgh Scholastic Sprints!
