Introducing Xeno Müller rowing coach and advisor



Hello Rowers,
Here is a piece I shot yesterday for rowers who are looking for general information on a mercenary coach like me.
:-)
I mean it with the last statement about improving erg scores.
Row on people and remember if you want to row with me on the rowing machines have a look at www.Row2go.com

Training program and why it is available.


Hello Row2K readers and others who stumble upon my little soap box.


I finished writing a second training program that is intended for master rowers who are going to compete at the US rowing master's national championship in August. If you are interested in getting the training plan, just add your email to the collection box on the first page of my website: www.ironoarsman.com.

Currently, I have two training programs going, the one mentioned above and one for club rowers who are competing in July.

I would like to explain why I am publicizing the training programs. As a former Olympic rower, with medals, the aftermath of competition is an unknown professional territory when it comes to building a business in rowing other than coaching a defined crew.

I consider myself a gun for hire for individuals who want to get the extra edge in high performance rowing. This market as you all know is very small. My two prodeges last year were the Graves brothers who barely missed making it to the Olympics.

On the other hand, I feel like I am a catalyst for none-rowers to discover health and fitness through indoor rowing. This health/wellness/fitness market is H U G E. At this point I have not yet figured out how to crack this nut. When I do, I will help sponsor rowing events :-)


So in the meantime, I need to spread the word about myself and my rowing capabilities. Tooting my own horn does not feel natural, after all I was born Swiss, where talking about "Going for Gold (like in the US)" is frowned upon.

Publicizing training programs which follow the training fundamentals that brought me Olympic gold and silver in the single scull seem to a natural. The key here is to mention that I have a great sculling DVD for sale which features me rowing my boat, while I am connected to a wireless mic. Spectators get to see how I interact with the single, they hear my thoughts on how to control the boat, and what type of exercises I do routinely, to stay efficient with my gliding and my power application.


In order to succeed at all levels in life I am a strong believer in the two way street.

I wish you all the very best,

Xeno
