#69.Connection vs Power
Tuesday, 3 March, 2026
In this month’s podcast, we break down one of the most misunderstood concepts in paddling performance — connection vs power. Most paddlers chase power. Few understand connection. We explain why what happens before the paddle enters the water determines how much speed you actually produce. True efficiency starts with body alignment, sequencing, and muscle activation — not brute force. We also share simple visualisation cues and activation drills to help you feel real connection through the leg drive, hips, and core. If you want smoother speed and less wasted effort, this episode is for you. For our Subscribing members, the video of this podcast has been uploaded to the FB Community Page.
