Podcasts about us rowing

A Long Talk About the Uncomfortable Truth was developed by two black fathers in the wake of George Floyd's murder in May 2020, during a moment of national reckoning. There was a collective national and international outcry, but there was also a gap between intention and action. People wanted to help but didn't know where to start. In light of the Black Lives Matter movement, USRowing came to terms with its own limitations when it came to talking about – and taking action around – diversity, equity, and inclusion. A Long Talk gives space to have the conversations that people are afraid to have. They lead activation experiences designed to empower participants with knowledge and skills to interrupt problematic thinking and behaviors. Kamal Carter and Kyle Williams, founders of A Long Talk, are not rowers, but they are proud to be a USRowing Unity Partner, and working with rowing programs across the country.

Texas  Rowing Coach Dave O'Neill In this episode, we sit down with Texas Rowing Coach Dave O'Neill, fresh off leading the Longhorns to the 2024 NCAA Championship title. We kick things off by getting an update on the Texas program and what's next for the team as they build on their national success. We then dive into the biggest topic in collegiate rowing right now: the new NCAA scholarship regulations. With the shift to 68 scholarships in rowing, what does this mean for Texas and other Power 4 schools? Does this widen the gap between well-funded programs and smaller schools? And how will these changes affect the Ivy League, given their unique recruiting and financial aid structure? We also explore the NCAA boat classes,  should there be a sculling component, such as a quad (4x) or double (2x), added to the championship format? Looking beyond the collegiate scene, we discuss the Longhorns' presence at the 2024 Olympics. Finally, we examine the relationship between USRowing and the college system. What can each do to better support the other in developing the next generation of elite rowers? To wrap things up, we get Coach O'Neill's take on the current landscape of collegiate rowing. With rowingwolf ( Sean ) having a vote in the JRN polls, how should the top five teams shake out in both the men's and women's rankings?   Tune in for an insightful conversation with one of the top coaches in the sport as we break down the latest in NCAA rowing and beyond.

 Reflections & Road to LA 2028 In this episode we break down the performances celebrating medals in the men's eight and four while asking whether a win in the eight was within reach.  We discuss the focus for this Olympic cycle, including stroke selection and athlete development.  We also address lingering questions about Mike Teti and Tom Terhaar's involvement, highlight new faces on the squad, and explore the future of the lightweights developing on the open squad. Other key topics include notable absences this year, Clark Dean in the single, and the impact of embedded scientists in high-performance rowing. On the women's, we analyze whether anything went wrong at the Olympics. We also discuss coaching contracts, the importance of the March Speed Order, and long-term goals for LA 2028. A must-listen for anyone invested in the future of U.S. rowing!

How are women driving transformative change in climate action? In this episode, host Anita Kelava, co-founder of Voiz Academy highlights the journeys of Christine Cavallo and Michelle Li, two remarkable leaders creating global impact through corporate sustainability, education, and community building.

Michelle, founder of Clever Carbon and Women in Climate, reveals how she's creating accessible carbon education and fostering empowering spaces for women to lead in climate.

(AURN News) — Xavier University of Louisiana (XULA) announced this week it will make collegiate sports history this fall by becoming the first historically Black college or university (HBCU) to establish a varsity co-ed rowing program. The groundbreaking move elevates the school's existing rowing club to varsity status after three successful seasons. The club program was initially established through an innovative partnership with the New Orleans Rowing Club in September 2023. The transition to varsity status represents a significant milestone in collegiate athletics, particularly for HBCUs, which have traditionally not participated in rowing at the varsity level. XULA also announced that the program has received sponsorships and donations from US Rowing and major influences in the sport including Vespoli USA, a racing shell manufacturer, among others. University officials confirmed they have begun the process of building the program's infrastructure, including initiating a search for the team's first head coach. Recruitment efforts are already underway to attract student-athletes for the inaugural varsity season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, when it was clear that the 2020 rowing season was in jeopardy, we started brainstorming. We were just two masters rowers and coaches who wanted to celebrate the expansive array of rowers, coaches, and coxswains and savor real-life experience from launch to cox seat at every level.  We launched Steady State Network in September 2020 with one goal: reframe the popular, yet limited narrative about rowing culture by creating a more inclusive and better represented rowing community.  On September 22, 2020 with very little audio production experience, but plenty of big ideas and lots of opinions, we dropped episode 1 of Steady State Podcast and wondered: will anyone notice?

In 1984, Kris Thorsness brought home gold in the U.S. women's 8+ from the Olympic Games Los Angeles. Home was Alaska, where she was welcomed with a parade and the distinction of being the first Alaskan to win an Olympic medal. Today she says she's “just a masters rower,” but 40 years after that gold medal Olympic performance, she's also a USRowing Referee and is an Arbitrator for the Court of Arbitration for Sport and the U.S. and Paralympic Committee. Before she heads off to Paris for the 2024 Olympics in her role as an Arbitrator, we talk with Kris about refereeing, which is often glossed over by rowers but is key to ensuring regattas are safe and effectively run, with a focus on sportsmanship.

The word “amateur” differentiated men who were paid to row or steer the boat and gentlemen who rowed for pleasure. The Committee allowed those from the gentlemen amateur group to participate in the annual regatta in the men's single scull. On September 25, 1886, the first regatta took place. Until 1912 the regatta was known as the International Dutch Open Single Sculling Championships. The regatta maintained wide international renown. In 1931 the regatta was moved from the river Amstel to the temporary race course in Sloten, near Amsterdam, until it found its present site at the brand new Bosbaan in 1937. During the eighties, the Holland Beker experienced competition from a growing number of international regattas, which made it difficult to attract the top international rowers. After some German victories, several Dutch victories were celebrated in the late eighties and early nineties. There is a gap in the regatta's history in the years 2001 and 2002. Only after the refurbishment of the Bosbaan race course in 2003 did the Holland Beker Regatta Association start anew. The organisation now includes the Royal Maas Yacht Club Rotterdam – replacing the Royal Netherlands Yacht Club as the organising group in 1994-, the Amsterdam Student Rowing Club Skøll and the Royal Dutch Rowing Association. In 2004 the name of the regatta changed back to the Koninklijke Holland Beker. As Holland's most renowned international regatta, the Koninklijke Holland Beker has hosted the World Rowing Cup III in 2019. Top rowers from countries around the world have travelled to Rotterdam to compete, which made the event a great success.

HEART ATTACKS & PREPAREDNESS SERIES: PART 2 We're dedicating a multi-part series to heart attacks, emergency preparedness, and response. You'll hear first hand accounts from rowers who survived heart attacks, teammates and coaches who witnessed these events, and even from widows who reflect on warning signs and “what ifs.” On this episode: A member of the first U.S. women's Olympic team and a longtime masters rower, Sue Hooten has a lifetime of rowing memories. She learned to row in California in the early 1970s, really appreciated the boathouse sock box in Philadelphia, and has raced around the world. In March 2018, her husband, former National Team and Vesper Boat Club coach John Hooten, had a medical emergency on the water while training in his 1x. He was out with his training partner, without a coach, and – like most rowers – was not wearing a PFD. Stay tuned ‘til the end.

They're enthusiastic about having learned to row as adults and use the word "fun" to describe their rowing life way more than anyone else we've can think of. But one day in 2018, David had a heart attack. Together, David and Sarah recount that day and why he survived, and delve into  recovery and returning to the boat. We also come to terms with erg splits going up as we get older and talk about learning to enjoy rowing for the sake of rowing.

If you dread your indoor rower workouts, listen in. We have 5 things for you to try out which could make your ergs more enjoyable. Timestamps 00:30 In our training programme this month - 3 training plans to suit your racing, force curve video, how your body mass affects boat speed. We had a winner at the Virtual Head of the Hooch and personal best times of 3 seconds and 6 seconds from participants - the programs do work! 03:00 5 tips to make your ergs fun. Long endurance workouts can be daunting. 1 - Follow a programme Making up your workout on the day means you have no goal. Keep a record of your training so you can measure your gains and progress. 2 - Train with a group There is nothing worse than having to train alone. Even if you have to train in your garage, start the workout at the same time as your crew mates - it's an incentive to show up. And showing up is half the battle in forming an exercise habit. 3 - Reward yourself Feel good about what you have done. Choose something which you enjoy as a reward. 4 - Set short horizons While doing the workout choose a destination in the near future (5 minutes) so you can focus on one thing for that time. I choose technique items that will keep my form consistent. One minute is the lowest horizon. 5 - Distract yourself Listen to music while training - challenge not to look at the screen until the song is over. Shut your eyes and focus on the feel of the movement instead of looking. Listen to the flywheel - does it get louder as you move to the finish of the stroke? Have a visual cue for your catch - use tape or a straw marker. Change the units to watts from 500m splits. Use this to train yourself to row with consistent pressure. Use your force curve in the same way to train consistency. Training Camp with US Rowing in Chula Vista 1-4 April. Newsletter recipients will get information about it.

It was 50 years ago today - Peter Kermond started rowing at Belmont Hill prep school, directly across from the site of our interview near Eliot Bridge on the Charles River in Boston. Peter is a beloved legend in rowing - making the US National Team and eventually acquiring Burnham Boat Slings, maker of the slings that rowers rack their boats on at regattas. Now, Burnham's flagship products are their custom made boat covers, and they've added on many other types of rowing accessories, from oar bags to water bottle holders. And Peter has not stopped rowing, competing at most regattas in between shifts at his vendor tent, which attracts a steady stream of colleagues, friends, and customers, ready to chat about all things rowing.#rowingpodcast

Have you ever wondered how top athletes develop the mental toughness and resilience needed to succeed at the highest levels? In this episode, Erik Cabral chats with Hans Struzyna about his journey from rowing in the 2016 Rio Olympics to becoming one of the top real estate agents in the Bay Area. Hans shares invaluable lessons learned from his rowing career like being coachable, separating physical and emotional reactions, and the importance of recovery and mental preparation. He also explains how overcoming the perceived failure of finishing 4th in the Olympics inspired him to reframe perspectives on both success and failure. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Hans' family and career background College rowing, Olympic dreams, and scholarship opportunities Hans' Olympic experience Key things he learned as an athlete that apply to business Embracing nervousness and failure Episode Highlights: [23:33] Reflections on US Rowing: Seeking Improvement in Athlete Support Hans believes that the US rowing organization seems to be lacking in its ability to truly serve the athletes it aims to support. It appears to be a self-centered organization that may not fully understand the needs of the athletes. When reflecting on our experiences and successes, such as winning national championships in college, we draw comparisons to the shortcomings of US Rowing. This allows us to identify what worked and what didn't, and apply those best practices to our own business and team. By analyzing both the failures and successes, we strive to create a more supportive and effective environment for our athletes. [25:31] Applying Lessons from Athletics to Business Success Some of the key things Hans learned as an athlete that he has applied to his business include: Coachability: Hans understands the importance of taking feedback and implementing it quickly, enabling him to adapt to changing conditions in his business. Rapid Learning: Hans embraces the need to learn quickly and iterate on lessons, ensuring he stays ahead of the competition and avoids potential losses. Comfort with Discomfort: Hans pushes through physical and mental discomfort, knowing that giving in can result in setbacks and losses in both athletics and business. Prioritizing Recovery and Self-Care: Hans recognizes the significance of rest and self-care to avoid burnout, ensuring long-term sustainability in his business. Building a Strong Mental Game: Hans employs techniques like reframing narratives and focusing on performance rather than outcomes, cultivating resilience to overcome setbacks. [31:06] Embracing Nervousness and Failure Feeling nervous is actually a good thing - it signifies that you truly care and want something. This applies to everyone, even the best athletes who experience nerves before a race. The key lies in how you handle those nerves. Will you let them scatter and overwhelm you, or will you channel them into focused determination? Remember, everyone has butterflies; it's how you deal with them that sets you apart. Embrace the nervousness and direct it towards your goal. Resources Mentioned: Entrepreneurs Circle podcast is an On Air Brands production.

Welcome to a brand new episode of the ¿Quién Tú Eres? podcast, where we explore the conflict we often face between "professionalism" & being our authentic selves. This week's guest is Manny Valentin. Manny Valentin was named Skidmore College's head men's and women's crew coach in May 2021. Valentin was previously the Saratoga Rowing Association (SRA) head varsity boys coach and the Advanced Rowing Initiative of the Northeast (ARION) men's coach. Valentin's athletes have had success on the national and international levels, with a men's lightweight quad winning the 2018 USRowing trials and then competing in the 2018 World Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Valentin was one of 13 coaches across all three divisions, including just one of just four coaches in Division III, to be recognized with the award. He represented the New York region under Division III.   In this week's episode, Manny shares how he leads by example and creates positive representation for his athletes. He makes sure to present himself as a man of color in professional spaces so that he can encourage other athletes of color to present themselves as authentically as they can. This kind of representation was not there for Manny when he first started so he ensures that the next generation will have that in him.  Follow Manny on:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emanuel-valentin/ Follow Pabel on: Website: https://plurawl.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/plurawl/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@plurawl  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/plurawl/  Keep up with the podcast:  Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/quientueres/message  Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/quientueres/support Post-production for this episode was provided by CCST, a podcast production company.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome everyone to another episode of the For Stars Podcast, where today we hear from Southern California rower, 10-Time US National Team Member, and well-known sports filmmaker, Nick Trojan. We talk about his impact on Long Beach Junior Crew, the United States National Team, rowing at seven World Championships, and even spending a year rowing with Orange Coast College (the only junior college in America to have a competitive rowing team). Nick has always loved visual arts, even dating back to high school, so when he decided to take sports filmmaking to the next level, passion took over... and now paving the way for making rowing and the people involved more visible to the world. He currently has three documentaries available to the public featuring teams such as Harvard & Yale Heavies, as well as Cal Men's Rowing, with more in the books! Some of the documentaries he was working on, would have had an average joe quit and move on to something else, but Nick stuck with it and kept chasing his goal to put out superior work.The lessons that Nick learned at Long Beach Junior Crew was monumental, and in his words, "saved his life"... being taught foundations such as structure, commitment, and setting standards for himself in order to be elite. Rowing lightweight in high school and on the US National Team, Nick dabbled rowing heavyweight when it was available to him. We talk about the absence of lightweight rowing, meaning behind his nickname, living with host families, rowing at OCC instead of a four-year university, the simplicity of rowing, along with other subjects and future projects, so tune into this "Bucket of Bliss"!Be sure to follow him and check out his work!Instagram: https://instagram.com/sneeky_____YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@sneeky_Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifyXeno Müller - Elite Rowing Coach Make your rowing dreams real!

This is the final episode in a four-part special series on gender identity policies in rowing. Since December 2022, World Athletics, World Rowing, USRowing and other national governing bodies, have announced updated gender identity policies. In response, voices across the rowing community have stood up for "fairness for women" and alternatively "inclusion for marginalized athletes." We're taking a closer look. Dr. David Scherzer learned to row with DC Strokes Rowing Club, one of just a handful of dedicated, independent LGBTQ+ rowing clubs in the world. But for many years, even DC Strokes wasn't able to provide answers to David about how they could participate and race as a non-binary athlete. And when Bobbi Kizer, PhD inquired about racing at Head of the Lake as a transgender athlete, the organizing committee worked with them to create an exhibition “mixed” category for all genders. But in general, the current USRowing gender inclusion policy leaves transgender, non-binary, and other gender nonconforming rowers with very few opportunities to race. .
