Joined by Justin and Stephen of Live 2 Row this is a Broken Oars Indoors epsiode that should be mandatory listening for anyone involved in any form of rowing, indoors, outdoors, or even on lakes with alligators on them.

Southern Pip and Justin and Stephen tick off a hitlist of Broken Oars mantras that have become shibboleths over the life of the podcast: why you shouldn't make people do 2k's on their first day if you want them to stay in the sport; why coaching has to be individual rather than one-size fits all; why the more volume = better rowers approach doesn't work; why ergs should be fun rather than a stroke-by-stroke re-enactment of the Passion of the Christ; and how to coach technical points that result in lasting physical and psychological improvements.

This isn't just about training on the erg. Justin and Stephen are arguing for an inclusive engaged sport that welcomes all through its doors. Focusing on individuals has an impact on all levels, from retention rates at indoor and outdoor clubs to progression to crew boats. By arguing very simply that the emphasis on suffering and rigour and sacrifice turns more off the sport than it engages, their paean for fun, engagement and inclusivity is as passionate as it is grounded and as inspiring as it is common-sense.

A must listen for anyone who wants to up their coaching and training game.

Bowside? Strokeside?

Get on the erg and have some fun!
