It all began when three people bonded over their love of rowing at Brock\u2019s Leo LeBlanc Rowing Centre.<\/p>\n
Electrical Engineer Adam Love had joined the centre\u2019s Adult Community Rowing Program as a recreational rower. Around the same time, he was exploring an idea to improve methods used by athletes and their coaches to measure their performance on the water.<\/p>\n
Working in his basement, Love created a device displaying performance data that tracks, analyzes and optimizes rowing performance. But he needed feedback from those who row competitively.<\/p>\n
So, he turned to Adult Community Rowing Program coaches Jenna Osborne (BKin \u201920, MSc \u201924), an Applied Health Sciences PhD student, and Ian Doctor (BScKin \u201825), a Kinesiology master\u2019s student who was involved in exoskeleton research<\/a> conducted by Associate Professor of Kinesiology Shawn Beaudette.<\/p>\n Doctor and Osborne, who share a passion for competitive rowing, were intrigued, and Love brought them on board in his newly formed company, Rowing Precision<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cWorking with experienced athletes and coaches is critical to ensuring that we deliver a product that has been designed and built by the people who are going to use them,\u201d says Love, Rowing Precision Founder and CEO. \u201cIan is helping a lot with the technical side of things and Jenna is working on product testing and design.\u201d<\/p>\n The trio sought additional support to further refine, expand and market Rowing Precision\u2019s advanced sport performance analysis system for the rowing community.<\/p>\n
