Mention Texas and you might picture the Wild West — flat, dusty highways, and tumbleweeds rolling by. But head to Austin, tucked into the Hill Country, and you'll find something different. Right in the heart of the city flows Lady Bird Lake, a stretch of the Colorado River that has become a daily gathering place for runners, paddlers, and rowers alike. On its banks sits a true Austin institution: Texas Rowing Center. For owner Matt Knifton, this place isn't just a business, it's where his story unfolded. His ties to the lake reach back to the 1980s, and over the decades he's become not just an owner, but a steward — someone who has quietly shaped the culture of rowing in Austin, protected access to the water, and ensured that this shoreline remains a starting line for generations to come. In this conversation, we also explore how Matt is thinking about the future — and what thoughtful, sustainable growth looks like for a place so deeply rooted in community. .

Before diving into more guests and technologies, I wanted to pause and ask: What do I actually want this season to do? In this short solo episode, I share: Why collaboration in the energy transition is often misunderstood Why it's less like rowing in sync — and more like rafting What this season will focus on And how the podcast will evolve going forward The energy transition doesn't just need better technology. It needs better conversations.

Katie Weber was at home on the soccer field and basketball court. But after a brain cancer diagnosis and multiple surgeries left her balance impaired, the athletic identity she'd always known felt suddenly out of reach. For years, she searched for a way back. That path led her to Seattle-based organization Seize the Oar, and to a sport that rewards patience, persistence, and the willingness to keep learning. Rowing didn't just give Katie a new challenge; it gave her a way to rebuild confidence and independence, and redefine what competition could look like. Through it all, her husband – Will Bull – has been in her corner as a steady supporter, gym buddy, race-day cheerleader, and self-proclaimed number one fan. Today, we talk with Katie and Will about resilience, partnership, and what it means to navigate sport — and life — side by side. If rowing has helped you reconnect with a part of yourself that you'd been missing, this episode's for you. Katie has partial facial paralysis which does affect her speech. We encourage you to follow along with the episode transcript available below.

Time for sporting history and our guest this week has had a lifelong association with the sport of rowing, as a competitor, an elite coach and a high-performance leader. Judith Hamilton is currently Rowing New Zealand's General Manager of Performance, and there have been many highlights along the way - which we will soon find out about. Her contribution to rowing was also recognised in the New Year Honours, where she was appointed an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to rowing.

Former Rowing Queensland CEO Murray Stewart joined Dean & Sofie on 4BC Breakfast to push back against Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie's ultimatum that Olympic rowing must be held in Rockhampton. He argued that while Rockhampton can host the Games in winter, the course is prone to flooding during the summer wet season, making it unusable for local athletes year-round.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is all about the bigger picture - no matter who you are or what sport you play, going through the US college recruiting process and then becoming a college athlete allows you to Zoom out and really appreciate your journey. Coach Kelly Kraiss from Clemson Women's Rowing team sits down with Claire to chat about the broader topic of a recruiting journey as well as life as a US college athlete.When the recruiting process gets bumpy—Coaches ghosting you from your dream school, shifting timelines—Coach Kelly's mantra is to zoom out. How lucky are you as an athlete to even be in the recruiting process! So many athletes around the world do not have the opportunity in front of them to speak to a US college coach. She chronicles how rejection is in the recruitment process takes you one step closer to finding your right fit program. Just like many other coaches have echoed on In the Huddle, Coach Kelly emphasises the critical element of updating coaches in the recruiting process - "a green flag is when athletes initiate updates...I love when an athlete is willing to initiate!"Coach Kelly also shares her thoughts on the way you develop as a human being while going through the recruitment process and while you are at college, no matter what sport you are playing. Zoom out - being a US college athlete shapes the person you'll become and provides you with a great mindset moving forward in your life - planning, communication, balance and perspective under pressure translates from the recruiting process & life as a college athlete into the 'real world'. Of course they also dive deeper into the specifics of rowing as Claire asks Coach Kelly if she has any advice for younger rowers. Her advice? Try both sides of the boat, play other sports to grow your athletic base, take on small leadership roles, and pay attention to whether you love the sport as a whole.Enjoyed this one?

Improve your rowing ratio while lifting in the gym. Timestamps 00:45 Rowing can be improved by strength training Lifting heavy has lots of benefits - today we'll talk about ratio. The contrast between the power phase and recovery phase. How to use this concept of ratio in strength training. 02:00 Improve range of movement As we age we find our muscles and tendons don't have the same range and so our stride gets shorter. Strength training can help improve or maintain RoM. Weight lifting works in two planes - when you lift the weight and when you return it to the start point. Concentric muscle movements are shortening the muscle (as you lift). Eccentric muscle movements are lengthening the muscle (as you return the weight to the start). Eccentric muscle work can help improve your range of movement. Working on this part of the strength lift can use the rowing ratio as part of the movement. 03:45 Ratio in strength training The braking effect that you use as you control the weight in the eccentric lengthening muscle phase as you lower the weight down can enable you to have greater force production. When lifting heavy for few repetitions or using small muscles e.g. doing chin-ups against your body weight you may find the difference between the last successful lift and when you fail is large. Do your first chin up One way to improve your strength and do your first chin up is to start at the top of the lift with your chin over the bar (you may need a chair to step or jump up there). Then slowly lower yourself by straightening your arms doing just the eccentric part of the lift. You will gain strength more quickly by doing this slowly muscle lengthening under load. When you've done this a few times, try doing one chin up - you probably can lift yourself up. Use approximately a 3:1 ratio in your lifting. The more ratio you can manage the more you will be working the braking effect on the eccentric lift. 06:45 Improve range of movement Consider a difficult lift like a squat using an olympic bar. Getting a deeper squat - to 90 degrees or to a deep squat position is challenging. 08:00 6 week challenge to improve your ROM. 3x per week for 6 weeks. Start each lift with an ultra-light load. This helps refamiliarise your muscles with the movement. Then add weight so that you keep good form. Try to do 3-5 sets of each lift each time you go to the gym. Do 6 sessions on power - increase the load you can lift. Position a bench behind you so you squat down to just touching your bum on the bench. Goal is 90 degrees. For a deep squat choose a lower block to sit down to. Start with 5-8 reps on power - increase load. Do 6 sessions on range of movement - lower the bench. You may need to reduce the load in order to do this. Have someone spotting for you and checking your movements. Do 6 sessions on speed - lower for 3 and push up fast for 1. So build your ratio into these sessions. 11:30 Take your ratio training from the gym back into the boat. Can you push the oar faster through the water so that you can take longer on the slide recovery? You may be able to increase your ratio thanks to your work in the gym.

Man this week is a powerful episode.  Arthur talks dating, mental health, and art and we share our reasons for supporting the families of Renee Good and Alex Pretti and why we support #AbolishIce and #FreeMinnesota.  Then we dig into the story of teenager Grace Darling and how she, with a little help from her father, rowed out in a tiny rowboat (specifically a coble) to help 8 people who had survived a shipwreck in the Farne Islands!  She was made into a hero by the London press but she never saw the point, after all she had only done what she did to help people who needed helping.  And once again, our episode ties into the modern day as Alex Pretti lost his life just trying to help someone, a risk that Grace ran as well.  Check out the episode in this 19th century heroism and 21st century heroism have a lot in common episode of the Family Plot Podcast!  Plus the return of Edward October as the guide on our Elevator of History!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

This is not an adventure story—it's a leadership case study on how to lead when certainty disappears, fear shows up, and endurance matters more than intensity.If you're navigating ambiguity, pressure, burnout, or high-stakes decisions, this episode will challenge how you think about strength, courage, and what leadership actually requires today.⏱️ CHAPTERS / TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Opening  Leadership when the horizon disappears02:10 – Why an Ocean Is a Leadership Classroom Uncertainty, isolation, and sustained effort04:45 – Leadership vs. Management Why leadership must work without clarity07:30 – Endurance Over Intensity Why you can't sprint leadership (or an ocean)11:15 – Burnout and Corporate Myths Why exhaustion is not a credential14:20 – Fear as Data, Not Danger How leaders misuse fear—and how to use it properly18:30 – When Fear Becomes Taboo The innovation cost of fear-based cultures22:10 – Beginner's Mind and Adaptability Why leaders must become students again25:40 – Solo Doesn't Mean Alone Vulnerability, support, and leadership trust28:45 – Practicing Courage Daily You don't need an ocean to lead boldly31:00 – Final Reflection & Call to Action What's the ocean you're facing right now?FREE BONUS - Start assessing your leadership capability with our free Powerhouse Communication Assessment.

Nicki Plucinski discovered rowing as a teenager in Victoria, Australia. Though “woefully uninformed” going into her first 2k race, Nicki's effort caught her coach's attention and that day left a lasting impression. Nearly 30 years later, Nicki has turned that early experience into a mission. She founded Ratio Theory Rowing to give athletes the attention, direction, and information they need to succeed. In this conversation, we explore the rowing lessons that carry into everyday life, the work ethic and mindset behind her coaching, the science that drives her approach, and why self-care is a non-negotiable part of long-term success.  QUICK LOOK 01:04 - Rowing Week on a scale of 1-10: 7 (back on the water after a long hiatus!) 02:15 - The Huddle 05:11 - Hot Seat Q&A 08:46 - Nicki doesn't remember making a decision to row as a teen, but next thing she knew she was selected for camp 13:04 - Growing up in a sport household 15:25 - Rowing lessons that have carried over into our everyday lives 24:33 - transition to coaching 27:49 - the work ethic, mentality, and science behind her coaching success 33:22 - Ratio Theory Rowing designed to support athletes in big clubs who aren't getting the coaching or structure they want to reach their goals 36:30 - the importance of self-care: rest, nutrition, time-management, core strength, mobility, warmdowns  48:27 - Nicki's description of the perfect stroke 49:11 - Steady State Network news and notes .

In this episode of the Daniel Leese Podcast, Guinness World Record holder Adam Ratcliffe shares the full story behind rowing across the Atlantic Ocean for 56 days — and why the hardest part wasn't the ocean, the capsizes, or the exhaustion… but the decision to change his life. Adam opens up about growing up lacking confidence, feeling stuck in the corporate world, and hitting a point where everything felt empty. From there, we explore how discipline, fitness, and doing hard things reshaped his identity — ultimately leading him to become an adventurer and take on one of the most mentally and physically demanding challenges on the planet. We dive deep into the real reality of ocean rowing: 3-hour sleep cycles, claustrophobia, injury, fear, and the moment the boat capsized in the middle of the Atlantic. Adam also explains the mindset that kept him going when quitting felt easier, including his powerful “90-year-old self” decision framework. This conversation goes beyond adventure. It's about purpose, resilience, men's mental health, discipline over motivation, and the uncomfortable truth that no one is coming to save you. If you're feeling lost, stuck, or questioning your direction in life, this episode is for you.

Send us a textIn today's special edition of Navy Sports Central, we kick off a series honoring 50 years of women at the Naval Academy. And we begin with the story of Alexandria Vallancey, a Corvallis High basketball star who arrived at Annapolis intent on Division I hoops and left as a force in Navy Women's Rowing. What began as a walk-on curiosity at Hubbard Hall became a new identity, built on brutal practices, clean catches, and the unglamorous grind of the erg.We'll trace Alexandria's rapid rise from novice to the first varsity eight, the victories in the Cooper Sprints, dual wins over East Coast powers, and a string of Patriot League Championships that stretched Navy's dominance. Then the stakes climb: an invitation to the Henley Royal Regatta's historic King's Cup, a mixed military crew that included two women, and a nation's colors on the line. Feel the rhythm of head-to-head racing as Canada and France fall, and experience the drama in the final as a decisive move lifts the American boat Overlord past Germany while cheers of  “USA” help push the boat down the course. The win marks a powerful return to the international stage for Navy rowing—and it's a milestone in the larger story of women's athletics at Annapolis.We also look ahead: the pandemic's interruption, a return to form with another league title, and the next horizon—qualifying for the U23 U.S. National Team and competing at the World Rowing Championships. If you care about Navy sports, women's sports history, rowing strategy, or the mindset it takes to reinvent yourself, you don't want to miss this story.

Maurice Scott has been on a personal mission to be a face of positive change in the world of rowing. From beginning with zero Instagram followers, to the 2025 launch of Rowfluencers – what he calls the "#1 Rowing Talent & NIL marketing agency in the World" – Maurice has sought to  uplift the sport as a whole. He's dedicated to expanding the reach and impact of rowing through innovative marketing approaches.  Rowing is the ultimate team sport, but NGOs often overlook the stories of individual athletes.

Olympic rower Hannah Scott joins Eoin Sheahan to reflect on her early rowing journey, the pivotal decision between representing Ireland or Great Britain, her time in America, and much more.

We're joined again by Brown University student Kosta Karathanasopoulos to discuss the basics of rowing. What is rowing? What are the different types of rowing? What's the difference between sculling and sweeping? What actually happens in the boat? When do you need to start training and how long do you need to train to be competitive in rowing? What does "catching a crab" mean? Why does rowing get harder the faster you go? How is rowing unique among team sports?

Looking backwards to go forwards: what rowing taught me about big tech and what big tech taught me about rowing with Matt Brittin. Timestamps 01:00 From schoolboy to the Olympics - from a family of ball sport heros. Matt was inspired by Martin Cross to row to a high level - he was his school teacher. Later he was President of his university club where he led the introduction of professional coaching. 04:00 Rowing teaches skills Matt was running Google in Africa, Middle East and Europe for the past 10 years - he tells a lot of anecdotes about rowing. Steve Gunn (a harsh coach) taught how to take responsibility for what you are doing. Are you a piece of sh*t on the end of the oar? When the mindset is right but the self-appraisal was not. The things Matt learned at rowing were the human things - more useful than Business School, Consultancies and University. I wouldn't be where I am in the business world without the rowing lessons. 08:30 Act like an owner The unique side of rowing is that when I'm seat racing, I'm against you. When we are in the crew, I'm with you. Act like an owner at Google - take responsibility for what you're doing and win as a team. We collaborate hard - and sometimes a collaborative competitiveness gives a better outcome. 11:00 High Pressure Situations The start line of a Henley Royal Regatta final is where Matt felt the most intense pressure. Take confidence from the feeling of nerves and the adrenaline surge - this is a sign you are ready for a big performance. Get the attention off yourself - focus on the process is helpful. Know there is someone there who wants you to succeed. 14:45 Henley Royal Regatta Progress Matt is a Henley steward - he marks the progress over recent years. Sir Steve Redgrave asked Matt to help the committee to plan a 10 year strategy. It looks unchanging yet it's always evolving. Three new womens quad scull events were announced - near parity in Open events and Womens events. Since 2015 every race has been on YouTube live and on demand. You Win or You Learn. 20:00 Returning to Rowing It has been a joy and a recalibration too. The gains as you come back are lovely - rediscovering the joy. A lot is about remembering the feelings. How to balance training and travelling for work. How you manage your time at work is important. Matt blocks his diary to take kids to school twice a week - the most important time of the week. He does the same for rowing training. The discipline when traveling of visiting the hotel gym. The more senior you get the more important it is to show up refreshed and feeling great - in good shape. Leaders need to be in the moment and to have time for staff. Matt is planning to mentor people in business, improve his sculling, rowing strength training this year. Masters rowing is "running up the down escalator". It doesn't have to be the same each year - unlike younger rowing years. Choose something fun to plan for your future rowing.

Pastor Jordan Sunday December 7th 2025

THIS podcast conversation is one you won't forget!I met Arshay in 2019 through my rowing team. He is an entrepreneur and speaker who shares his message around the world. His full-length documentary, A Most Beautiful Thing, tells the story of growing up on the West Side of Chicago and how rowing and an entrepreneurship class changed his life. Since it debuted in March of 2020, it's been a joy to watch all his success!5 years later, he has a second book titled Let Me Be Real with You, which hit #1 on the USA Today best seller list, and he founded a non-profit organization to introduce rowing to youth!We dove deep into stories he doesn't often share - the gift of his entrepreneur class, how his culinary degree shaped his future, and the power of hope. Rowing introduced him to teamwork, peace, belonging, and the chance to reinvent his future. This is a story about resilience, leadership, and the hope we give and receive.

Send us a textAmy got bucked off a horse and broke her neck. She refused surgery, healed through exercise and visualization, then left the high desert of Oregon to college. She was recruited for the rowing team where she quickly became the strongest person on the oar. Then she got in a boat wreck and broke her back. After recovering from that she tried out for National team and despite being rejected by the coach due to her height, she forced her way onto the boat by demonstrating she could pull harder than anyone else in the country. That pulled that oar all the way to the Sydney Olympics. Since then she's travelled the world adventuring and hunting. She now runs Branded Rock Canyon, a premier lodge, hunting destination and shooting facility. You want a legendary story? Thoughtful insight into wildlife conservation?

What if the secret to high-performing teams isn't more strategy, but more alignment?

In this time of uncertainty and pullback of federal support for higher education, is it time for states to step up and play a greater leadership role in helping colleges better serve students? And if so, how? Jeff and Michael debate those questions on this episode. To set the stage, they talk with Ruth Watkins, president of postsecondary education for Strada Education Foundation and a former college president, about Strada's new State Opportunity Index. A key theme: the state level may be the ideal one to match educational offerings with available jobs, especially as AI reshapes so many industries.
