WHAT IS A SUPPORTER? SOME ADVICE ON HOW TO SUPPORT YOUR SON TSS Rowing dearly values the support given by parents. However, for those parents unfamiliar with the sport, here are a few "do's" and "don'ts" on how to be a good supporter at regattas. Do's Encourage your son to ALWAYS be on time for training and for regattas. Remember, if he is late, the whole crew and the coach suffer. Cheer as loudly as you can for all TSS crews. Offer to assist the Rowing Supporters Committee members in any way you can. Talk positively to your son about achieving his potential. A positive approach is essential in rowing ‐ it can make the difference! Talk positively to other parents at regattas and functions to create a TSS spirit that will be envied. Give support to hardworking coaches who give up a tremendous amount of time voluntarily. Encourage your son to show good sportsmanship in every situation, but especially after winning! Don’ts Try to avoid giving your son big hug as he is about to step into a boat (this can be especially embarrassing for men of steel!). Please do not enter the boys tent on race day. Part of the preparation for a race is to keep a crew together as a 'team' prior to the race. Boys are free to meet parents in the supporters tent if their Coach gives them approval and the time to do so. Wish your son good luck but always well before the coach begins his pre‐race talk. This is a time when we expect crews to be focused and ready to race. If you have any doubts or do not fully understand the technique or race tactics being employed, speak to the coach, but be aware that he/she will have your son's and the Shed's best interest at heart. Remember, we are a team. If we all work together and in the same direction we can achieve our aim. 14
