We have been fortunate to have paddled and worked with exceptionally dedicated and talented people, not only paddlers and coaches, but also medical and nutritional supporters who all share the same desire to see paddlers realize their full potential and achieve outstanding performances locally, nationally, and on the world stage. They have challenged us.

Whether you are a coach, club member, elite crew hopeful, or simply enjoy a recreational paddle, we hope to challenge you too. Our objectives in assembling this book are to move you closer to the level of paddling to which you aspire and to increase your enjoyment of the sport. You will find many important topics that will expand your knowledge of dragon boating and propel you and your team more efficiently to the finish line.
