"Ronnie Howard is one of the most distinguished and successful rowing coaches of our day. He rowed twice in the Boat Race and has since coached ten Oxford Boat Race crews. Crews and scullers he has coached at Radley College have won at Henley Royal Regatta, at the National Schools' Regatta and at the National Junior Rowing Championships; four of them have represented Great Britain in the World Junior Championships. He holds the prestigious ARA Gold Coaching Award.
Many coaches still teach what they themselves used to do, or think they did, but Mr. Howard is one of the few who are willing to consider why something should be done and whether a different technique or exercise would be more effective. Typical of this approach is that this is the first book to treat the subject pictorially, since most of the skills which make rowing and sculling fun are hard to explain in words and are much easier understood in pictures. The 250 specially taken, captioned photographs make up a book which will help the oarsman, sculler, cox and coach to use racing boats safely, successfully and above all with the greatest possible enjoyment."
