About me
Mike Purcer is the founder of Purcerverance Coaching Development, a company that is focused on providing coaches and athletes a measurable, objective view in the areas of rigging and technique. He is a certified master coach developer with the Coaching Association of Canada and has been leading coaching workshops for 40 years. Mike’s book, RIGGING, first published in 1985, has helped coaches understand how to measure dimensions and how changes affect the rowing stroke. His current research involves the use of video analysis to identify the performance factors of rigging and provides coaches with the tools to help their crews. Mike presented at the 2019 World Rowing Coaches Conference on the topic of blade slip and believes this will be the next step in rigging analysis.
