Are there video's that you would recommend to help me improve my rowing technique?

I injured my hip 2 weeks ago while rowing and haven't been able to row since then. :cry:

For technique, check out:

It shows a professional erg coach instructing a beginner, so you can get the words as well as observe the movements.

What I meant was, "In which of the videos did you see this?"
