How can we improve Speed Coaches?

Hello ACT Rowing community! My name is Gerard and I’m a member of CRC. For a University project this semester I’m looking into how speed coaches are currently being used by ACT rowers, coaches and coxswains, and how they could be improved. It would be fantastic if you could take the time to fill out this short (5-10min) survey it would really help me with my project.

Thanks very much for your time and I look forward to sharing my research with you.
