“During my collegiate rowing career, I looked up to Coach Kaehler as he competed for the United States, and won 3 consecutive World Championships in the Men’s Open 8+,” said Patrick Rufo, Program Director, Penn AC Gold. “His work ethic and dedication to the sport are among the main reasons I continued rowing at the highest level.”
“Now, as a strength and conditioning coach, I am again inspired by his training knowledge and what he does for our sport,” continued Rufo. “This is why we brought Coach Kaehler to Penn AC Boat Club this summer.

Included in the cost of the camp, Coach Kaehler will provide the following services at 2010 Penn AC Gold:
Body Balance Lecture
Coach Kaehler’s signature presentation on anatomy and structural imbalances includes a detailed explanation of how these imbalances affect rowing and lifting performance. This presentation also outlines the bio-mechanics of strength training and rowing, and explains how specific strength training techniques can improve rowing performance by helping to restore body balance.
Body Balance Structural Evaluations (30 minute individual sessions)
Body Balance helps athletes row more powerfully and avoid injury by shifting stresses of the rowing stroke toward proper support muscles, and away from your low back and other joints. Coach Kaehler’s 30 minute, one-on-one Body Balance evaluations help athletes understand and correct their specific flexibility and strength imbalances to achieve a longer, more powerful and balanced rowing stroke. These sessions are followed by a personalized program of easy-to-follow exercises that address and correct the athlete’s structural issues.
Group Training Session
Performed in a gym, Coach Kaehler’s Group Training Session is a hands-on review of correct lifting technique using Coach Kaehler’s Body Balance principles.
