There is one movement in rowing that’s super powerful, it’s easy to see, but few would know how much power it’s generating, it’s in the body swing. I’ve always thought that the power of a rowing stroke comes from linking the core muscles to everything else. Remembering that you push before you pull, what connects those two movements is the invisible core muscles, they are activated during the body swing. The core muscles take time to train and develop because you can’t see them, they lay deep inside our core.

If world basic basics is a personal thing, world-class consistency is something others can value. I’ve been thinking about the difference between basics and constancy, I think the former is something to focus on as an individual and the latter something that others observe more so.

I always preferred rowing with a crew. Here’s the thing when I was rowing at Auriol Kensington Rowing Club I learnt that crew boats were my thing and I enjoyed a quad more than anything, a quad is 4 scullers. You can learn to row on a rowing machine or in a single scull but I think the most fun is to be had when you row with other people. So here’s the thing about the Hydrow rowing machine that I think few have mentioned, but I will, when you row on a Hydrow rowing machine your rowing with someone and because of that it’s simply more fun. And if it’s more fun there is a strong chance that you ..read more

I think and what I have learnt over the years is what people say and what people do can often be very very different. When it comes to high performance, goal setting or just doing something better than others, sometimes you don’t want to share how you’re doing it or you might not realise just how good you are. Are you curious enough about your performance? So here’s the thing, I’ve been thinking about world-class basics, how do people live to deliver them, and what type of people optimise them. Knowing that you have a talent comes through allowing others to see it, you have to share it, even t ..read more

I've got that winter feeling, a January feeling, one that's very familiar. For a few years, I spent some time at Quintin Boat Club on the Thames by Chiswick bridge. The club had an open fire, we would recover after a session by it. This poem that I heard today reminded me of the feelings of January. January by Henry Wadsworth Janus am I; oldest of potentates; Forward I look, and backward, and below I count, as god of avenues and gates, The years that through my portals come and go. I block the roads, and drift the fields with snow; I chase the wild-fowl from the frozen fen; My frosts congeal t ..read more
