are all there in the few lines, but the unwritten contents are made from the interpretation of the rest of the manual. The art of coaching is to understand the ideal rowing action, for each individual, to be able to apply it, in the most applicable way, towards and possibly in a competitive event.
If applying in a competitive event, there may be a programme of competitions planned, which should imply a timescale, an evolution, and an evaluation of required standard (with regards to opposition) could also be relevant. This is very hard to put usefully into words for any individual coach with an individual remit.
Every coach has to be active in trial and error coaching, and absorb what they observe (of other coaches/mentors as well as rowers) and then continually develop their own ideas on a developing wealth of experience.
