  • Excellent advice. Poor audio quality.

    Respectable experts with helpful advice for rowers of all levels. However, consistently poor audio quality. Too soft. Big level differences between speakers. Can-and-string sound in one speaker. Hosts DO enunciate, so thankful for that.

  • if you're an older adult and you enjoy rowing, whether you rowed as a junior or are still a newbie, this podcast is for you. Every episode is packed with useful information specifically for Masters Rowers. And, the hosts are fun and relatable. I could totally see having a pint or two at the pub with them after an afternoon on the water, listening to them tell stories.

  • A must-listen podcast for rowers and coaches alike!

    I love Rowing Chat. Every episode is packed full of advice, information, and motivation from some of the best coaches and Olympic rowers in the world! Rebecca is a fantastic host: she asks great questions and always adds to the discussion as well. If you're a rowing coach looking for new ways to approach your team, or a rower looking for new ways to practice and approach rowing, then this is an absolute must-not-miss podcast!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Matt Brittin - what rowing taught me
Q: What were the lessons that you took out of high pressure situations, both from working to rowing and the reverse?
Brittin mentions that nerves can indicate preparation for performance, as he learned from Steve Redgrave, and emphasizes the importance of focusing on the process rather than oneself during high-pressure situations.
Coronary Artery Diseases CAD in Masters Rowers
Q: What age should you start getting the calcium scan and the PWV test?
For men, calendar age 40, maybe women can get by to 50.
Backing down
Q: What are the differences between backing down with blades up or blades down?
Blades down helps grip water due to the oar's curve, while blades up is simpler as it maintains the oar's standard position, avoiding confusion with pitch.
Improving finishes for scullers
Q: What would you want me to help you coaching?
Helen Tonmara's question specifically asked for help in improving her finishes for scullers, focusing on finding the right timing between tapping down and feathering.
Rowing and Alexander Technique
Q: What are the benefits that you think the Alexander Technique brings to those teaching or learning rowing?
It enhances awareness of unnecessary effort, enabling rowers to achieve better technique with less tension.

Frequently Asked Questions About RowingChat
