Philadelphia, PA – March 22, 2011 – Coach Kaehler announced today that he will rejoin Penn AC’s coaching staff for the Club’s 2011 Gold summer training camp.

All of Kaehler’s services will be included in the cost of the camp. The 2011 Penn AC Gold Junior Rowing Program will run from June 17th through Aug 8th, 2011.
“For junior rowers with serious competitive goals, Penn AC Gold covers all the key components of effective training and preparation,” said Bob Kaehler, Owner of Coach Kaehler Endurance Training and Conditioning. “With exceptional rowing, training, racing, and results, Pat (Patrick Rufo) has designed a program that rates among the best in the nation.”
Penn AC Gold is an intensive and competitive summer rowing program for junior male and female high school level athletes. Based in Philadelphia, PA, the camp operates out of the Penn AC Boat Club. The program is designed to help athletes prepare for collegiate competition by educating them on essential training elements, including rowing technique, aerobic and anaerobic training, strength and conditioning, flexibility, nutrition, teamwork, mental training, and coxing.
“Coach Kaehler did a phenomenal job last summer working with the athletes of Penn AC Gold,” said Patrick Rufo, Director and Head Coach of Penn AC Gold. “Much of his input and advice allowed our athletes to improve their overall racing results with the camp.
Not only did each athlete leave the camp with a plan to continue improving their fitness, but every single athlete left more confident because of the time Coach Kaehler spent with each rower.”
In 2010, Penn AC Gold enjoyed unprecedented success. 2010 Gold wins included:
• Sweeps in the Junior Men’s 8+ and 4+ (Independence Day Regatta), winner of Mariner’s Points Team Trophy
• 1st place Junior Men’s 4+, 1st place Junior B Men’s 4+, 2nd in Junior Men’s 2-, 1st in Junior B Men’s 2X, Penn AC won both the Overall Team Points Trophy as well as the Sulgar-Barnes Trophy (Men’s Point Trophy)

Included in the cost of the camp, Coach Kaehler will provide the following services at 2010 Penn AC Gold:
Dynamic Body Balance Presentations and Group Sessions on Corrective Exercises
Body Balance – the synergy of muscle groups in the body – is the core foundation of Coach Kaehler’s approach to training and conditioning. Used by many of the nation’s top rowing programs, Body Balanced training helps rowers improve their power and strength, and reduce their risk of injury.
Penn AC Gold 2011 will feature Coach Kaehler’s presentation on his signature Body Balanced Approach to Conditioning. Following this, Coach Kaehler will demonstrate corrective exercises to the athletes in small group sessions, emphasizing correct form and technique. Review sessions will be conducted periodically throughout the eight week camp.
