Noel Donaldson is a rowing coach.He was a coxswain and competed at the 1979 world championships and then transitioned in to coaching in 1980.In the 1990 in began coaching Australia's Oarsome Foursome, who won Olympic Golds in 1992 and 1996 and 5 world championships. He also coached Georgina Douglas to World Championships in 1998 and 1999. In 2013 became the coach of the New Zealand team of Hamish Bond and Eric Murray who also won back to back Olympic Gold medals.Noel is a serial winning coach whose wisdom transcends sport. Some of the key highlights of the interview are: The importance on treating each new campaign as something separate from the last one. And setting goals that are appropriate for that team, not simply reflecting on the past to set future expectations. How the ‘Oarsome Foursome' would go about debriefing after a performance and importantly how they had the ability to switch on and off, which is something that he thinks is lacking a little today with athletes. His learning as he has matured as a coach that winning at all costs can cause mental health challenges that end up meaning that winning is only temporary.

New Zealand Olympic gold medalist Eric Murray is known for dominating in the men's pair with partner Hamish Bond. We know. You might be saying: “An Olympian? I thought you were all about celebrating the everyday rower!” We are. And we always will be. But we have to admit that when Eric reached out and asked to be on the podcast, we had a total fan moment. There was no doubt we'd invite him for a chat. From humble beginnings as an awkward teenage athlete, Eric quickly discovered that being 6'5” translated into impressive erg splits. Coaches noticed too, and he soon found himself on the podium at U16 and U17 events. From there, it was a one way ticket to the national team, World Rowing Championships, and the Olympics. Between 2007 and 2015, a commitment to be the very best brought Eric four indoor rowing world records, eight World Rowing Championships, and two Olympic gold medals. Retired from flat water rowing since 2017, Eric is keeping himself very busy working with Concept2, the Asensei rowing app, and is a member of the World Rowing Indoor Rowing Commission. And if that wasn't enough, he recently took a turn as a contestant on Dancing with the Stars. . Just a heads up: Eric does swear a bit in this episode ... .

We start season 11 with Duke Women's Head Coach Megan Cooke Carcagno.  Can Duke get on terms with Texas, UW and Stanford ?  Culture of the program, Women's Rowing today , Women's coaching today, Hamish Bond  as a volunteer asst and are there enough women's coaches in the sport?  

And we are back with part II. The Women's championship weekend.  The picks , the teams on the bubble and Hamish Bond at Duke !!!??  

Eric Murray is one of the greatest New Zealand Olympians of all time.  Hamish Bond and him won 2 gold medals for their rowing and were unbeaten for 69 consecutive races which is mindblowing. In this wide ranging conversation we cover so much ground- rowing, running, his reasons for going on Dancing with the stars, his relationship with marajuana, Celebrity Treasure Island, charity boxing, mental health, divorce, the tragic death of his friend Olivia Podmore, raising an autistic child and much much more.   This is possibly my favourite conversation I've done since I launched this podcast...that may be because Eric turned up with a 6 pack and a bottle of wine (which we consumed every last drop of). But also because for such a well known sporting legend, he is so unfiltered and honest about everything! know you guys will ove this one and I can't wait to share it. PS:  Eric asked me to ask YOU to text "ERIC" to 3333 to keep him on DWTS (even though he is terrible haha)

This episode originally aired on Nov 24, 2020. The first thing that struck us about meeting Eric for the first time was his approachability. He had a beer in hand, a huge smile and welcomed us into his home like old friends – excited to share his best stories.  The second was his size. The guy is a giant and when you combine that raw power with an insane aerobic ticker, you can start to understand how he won 8 World Championships, 2 Olympic golds and 69 races undedeated in the Kiwi pair with Hamish Bond.    But the ep was a blast – and for the new fans we've collected over the last 18 months – worthy of your time. It's packed with unbelievable stories from two decades at the very top of high-performance sport.  We talk about fighting Manu Vatuvei in the 2012 Fight for Life, competing in a TV show to find NZ's toughest man, nights out in Switzerland – including the time he wrestled a swan into a pub, the infamous meeting when Dick Tonks blew his lid at the Kiwi Pair, and how having a son with autism changed him.  Listen on iheart or wherever you get your podcasts from, a huge thanks to those donating to the cause on Patreon... visit www.betweentwobeers.com to help support the show.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kia Ora e te whānau. It's hot, eh? This week we've got another greatest hit for you. In fact, not that we really pay attention to the numbers, but we have our most popular episode on DCR ever, Number 83 with the legendary Scotty Stevenson. It was hot the night that we recorded the podcast. Scotty walked into Eugene's lounge dressed up to the nines in full TV makeup (having just left the tele to come do the pod) and proceeded to lay down one of the most engaging, honest, and entertaining hours that we ever recorded.Scotty StevensonA broadcaster and journalist best known for his rugby commentary and reporting which makes him automatically one of the most well-known New Zealand TV personalities. He's a sports journalist with TVNZ, and also works with Spark Sport and Radio Hauraki, commentating on cricket and the America's Cup. He's also a sports writer, has ghost-written and written a string of some of the best sports books, from Straight 8 about Kieran Read, to Kiwi Pair about Eric Murray and Hamish Bond. Scotty has been previously known by his childhood nickname “Sumo” as, by his own account he was the “fat kid in speedos” at surf lifesaving. But things have changed. If you were to Google Scotty Stevenson, the number one thing that pops up on auto-search is “Scotty Stevenson weight loss”. It's because Stevenson has changed. Markedly. He has noticeably shrunk. And for those who've been watching closely, he started running. He's kept very quiet about it, but goodness me, the man is well and truly hooked. Three years ago, he couldn't run 85m. In 2019, he ran 85km, no less, through backcountry New Zealand in the Old Ghost Ultra in just over 12 hours. For those who saw the TVNZ report he did on the event, you'll know that he found it an extremely emotional experience. We talked to Scotty about that race, his life leading up to running, what sparked his decision to lace up, and the myriad of changes that this has had on his life.Enjoy!Episode LinksScotty Stevenson on InstagramScotty Stevenson on TwitterDirt Church Radio on InstagramDirt Church Radio on TwitterDirt Church Radio on FacebookDirt Church Radio on PatreonCieleFurther Faster New ZealandUltraspire NZSpring Energy NZSCOTT Running

This week Black Ferns Sevens Captain Sarah Hirini and two-time Olympic champion rower Hamish Bond were named New Zealand's flag bearers for the Tokyo Olympics.Two thoughts spring to mind. Firstly, congratulations. How cool that a change in Games rules means that for the first time we'll have a male and female athlete jointly carrying the New Zealand flag at an Olympic Games Opening Ceremony. It's not the first time two athletes have shared flag carrying duties. In 2016, Peter Burling and Blair Tuke were both announced as flagbearers, but only Burling got carry the flag. I'm presuming this year Hirini and Bond will have a flag each?My second thought was, how is it possible these Olympics Games are happening at all? A world full of medical experts and epidemiologists, and the people of Japan, have been asking the same question for months. For good reason. It's simply absolutely bonkers for thousands of athletes, officials and journalists to travel from all over the world to Japan at this time.The Japanese Prime Minister may have recently lifted the state of emergency in Tokyo, but health officials have seen an increase in COVID-19 cases since. On Friday, the Japanese Emperor announced he's "extremely worried" about the Tokyo Olympics and the potential spread of COVID-19 it may cause.But in one of the most stoic examples of ‘keep calm and carry on' the Toyko Olympics are set to open on July 23rd. If you're wondering why it hasn't been postponed or cancelled; it comes down to a mix of money, pride and pressure. The IOC can't afford to lose revenue from broadcasting rights and advertisers.When it comes to pride, the Olympics is a branding exercise for the host country. It would also be hard to justify a controversial $15.4 billion investment in a new stadium which never got its day in the sun.And then there's the pressure and expectations from the athletes; about 11,100 for the Olympics and another 4,400 for the Paralympics who have already put their lives on hold for a year waiting for these Games. Taken together, it's all led to common sense being abandoned. Ignored, thrown over the back fence – pick your description.But, given it is going to happen maybe it's time for an attitude adjustment.Instead of anticipating the worst perhaps we should put our optimist pants on, cross our fingers, and consider this a global study into how the world re-integrates.The questions confronting countries who took an elimination approach are around how we live with a virus which isn't going away? How do we open up to the rest of the world?  When should we feel safe to get on with our lives – make plans, go visit family or friends around the world?The Olympics will be an incredible test for vaccine efficacy. A group of people are volunteering to travel from around the world to spend time together. So let's watch and learn as they embrace social distancing, mask use, vaccination, and testing.Imagine if the Olympics became more than stories of glory and dreams come true. What if, and I know it's a big what if, the Covid impact wasn't what we fear.Could Tokyo 2021 be a much bigger story of hope and progress. LISTEN ABOVE    

Rowing great Hamish Bond and sevens rugby captain Sarah Hirini will create history when they carry the New Zealand flag at the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics. An announcment at a function in Auckland last night confirmed it will be the first time male and female athletes from New Zealand have been co-flagbearers at a Games. The role was also shared at the most recent Olympics - at Rio 2016, when sailing crewmates Peter Burling and Blair Tuke were handed the honour. Bond, who won gold at the last 2016 and 2012 Olympics in the mens rowing pairs alongside Eric Murray, spoke to Corin Dann.

Black Ferns Sevens Captain Sarah Hirini and rower Hamish Bond will lead New Zealand's athletes into the Tokyo Olympics, with the pair named as dual flag bearers for the opening ceremony.This is the first time New Zealand has named dual flag bearers, selection one male (Te Pou Hapai Tane) and one female (Te Pou Hapai Wahine) athlete to have the honour.The announcement was made in Auckland last night; however, a private gathering was held in Tauranga days ago to bestow Hirini with her cloak before the men's and women's sevens team flew out for a pre-Olympics tournament in Townsville earlier this week.Hirini gave a teary speech in front of family, friends and teammates."Being able to carry the flag and represent the women's sevens team and the wider New Zealand Team at the Opening Ceremony is going to be such a huge honour," Hirini said. "I can't wait to represent my country at these Games."Bond, who was in attendance at the Auckland announcement, said he was extremely proud to be carrying the flag alongside Hirini."I believe that we will be similar leaders...we will be leading by example. That will certainly be how we approach the role," Bond said."If you look back on the people who have been our flag bearers over the years it's a pretty amazing bunch of athletes so to be bestowed this opportunity is really special to me."Our flag bearers have represented us with distinction, pride and respect in the past and I'm really honoured to be adding my name to that list."Bond took a moment to pay respects to the past flag bearers, singling out the late Peter Snell, who was the flag bearer for the opening ceremony in 1964. That year, Snell won two gold medals at the Games, which were also in Tokyo. Snell, who Bond labelled as New Zealand's "greatest ever Olympian", died in late 2019.Speaking as to why Bond and Hirini were named, New Zealand Team Chef de Mission Rob Waddell says the pair were chosen as they exemplify the values and culture of the New Zealand Team."Sarah and Hamish are outstanding athletes and are also leaders off the field of play," Waddell said."These athletes are role models and bring a huge amount of mana to our team. I'm extremely proud to be naming them as flag bearers."They will follow in the footsteps of some of New Zealand's greatest sportspeople when they lead the New Zealand Team into the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony on July 23rd."text by Christopher Reive, NZ Herald

The New Zealand men's rowing eight have booked their ticket to Tokyo after qualifying for the upcoming Olympic Games at the Regatta of Death in Lucerne.New Zealand's crew won the preliminary men's eight race against Romania, China, and Italy, and needed to finish in the top two of last night's final to secure Olympic selection.Originally scheduled to be held last Monday (NZT), the final was brought forward after bad weather was forecasted in Lucerne.One of the crew's rowers Phillip Wilson told Adam Cooper on the All Sports Breakfast it was an odd experience with racing brought forward due to bad weather, as well as Covid-related measures."It all made sense, the weather forecast wasn't great, it would have been pretty unfair racing. We shifted the mindset and got in the right frame of mind," he says."Our reserves and our coaches were saying 'you're racing tomorrow you're racing tomorrow', and so that was like 'oh wow, okay'."The eight will return home to MIQ, and potentially rowing on ergs in their hotel rooms.Their qualification means nine New Zealand crews will be contesting at the Olympic Games.Men's eight crew:Tom Murray, Blenheim Rowing Club (bow)Hamish Bond, North End Rowing ClubShaun Kirkham, Waikato Rowing ClubMichael Brake, North Shore Rowing ClubDan Williamson, Auckland Rowing ClubPhillip Wilson, Petone Rowing ClubTom Mackintosh, Avon Rowing ClubMatt MacDonald, North Shore Rowing Club (stroke)Sam Bosworth, Avon Rowing Club (cox)

Scotty Stevenson is a broadcaster and journalist best known for his rugby commentary and reporting which makes him automatically one of the most well-known New Zealand TV personalities. He’s a sports journalist with TVNZ, and also works with Spark Sport and Radio Hauraki. He’s also a sports writer, has ghost-written and written a string of some of the best sports books, from Straight 8 about Kieran Read, to Kiwi Pair about Eric Murray and Hamish Bond. Scotty has been previously known by his childhood nickname “Sumo” as, by his own account he was the “fat kid in speedos” at surf lifesaving. But things have changed. If you were to Google Scotty Stevenson, the number one thing that pops up on auto-search is “Scotty Stevenson weight loss”. It’s because Stevenson has changed. Markedly. He has noticeably shrunk. And for those who’ve been watching closely, he started running. He’s kept very quiet about it, but goodness me, the man is well and truly hooked. Two years ago, he couldn’t run 85m. A couple of weeks ago, he ran 85km, no less, through backcountry New Zealand in the Old Ghost Ultra in just over 12 hours. For those who saw the TVNZ report he did on the event, you’ll know that he found it an extremely emotional experience. We talked to Scotty about that race, his life leading up to running, what sparked his decision to lace up, and the myriad of changes that this has had on his life. Honest, engaging, and unalloyed, this is a fantastic conversation with a broadcasting legend that we are so thrilled to bring you.. Enjoy!

Drew Ginn is a legend in the sport of rowing and I am absolutely honored to have had the opportunity to sit down and speak with him. Here is what prompted this interview. I had recently read the book "The Kiwi Pair: The Story Behind Our World-Beating Rowers" by Hamish Bond and Eric Murray. In their book they discuss how they came across a video Drew Ginn had posted on his blog, Rudderfish. The title of the video was "Will it make the boat go faster?" and in it Drew shares some of his thoughts on what he had been taught by coaches and what he felt truly translated into greater boat speed. (I highly encourage you to watch the YouTube video to give you some proper background to this podcast interview). After watching this video I reached out to Drew personally and asked him if he be gracious enough to be a guest on the podcast. Here are some of the career accomplishments Drew has achieved in the sport of rowing: OLYMPIC RESULTS 2012 London: Men’s Coxless Fours – Silver 2008 Beijing: Men’s Coxless Pairs – Gold 2004 Athens: Men’s Coxless Pairs – Gold 1996 Atlanta: Men’s Coxless Fours – Gold OTHER ACHIEVEMENTS 2011 World Championships Coxless Fours: Bronze 2007 World Championships Coxless Pairs: Gold 2006 World Championships: Gold 2003 World Championships: Gold 2002 World Championships: Fourth 1999 World Championships: Gold 1998 World Championships: Silver 1998 World Championships Coxed Four: Gold 1997 World Championships Men’s Eight: Bronze 1995 World Championships: Eleventh 1995 European Championships: Fourth 1996 European Championships Coxless Fours: Silver 1995 World Championships: Fifth 1995 European Championships: Ninth HONOURS Thomas Keller Recipient – 2014 Crew of the Year – 2003 Australian Sports Medal – 2000 Order of Australia Medal OAM – 1997    Interview Topics: Drew's background in sport and what he is currently doing Why he recorded the video "Will it make the boat go faster?"
