We are back, ladies and gentlemen!

 

We didn't actually technically take a break over the festive period. Although we were still producing what is widely regarded as the finest rowing podcast on the planet over Christmas and New Year, life adminstration meant that it remained in the vaults until now.

 

And boy, have we returned with a bang.

 

A time-served water-rower, via swimming, and an engineer by trade, Alicia R. Clark is one of the new wave of coaches who used the pandemic to explore new ways of coaching and approaching physical and mental fitness. She sat down with us talk through her ethos, exploring how be a rower can become an identity; transitioning out of the sport; finding new passions; and developing a 360 degree view of yourself as an individual before helping foster that mindset in those you coach.

 

Tracing Alicia's journey through sport and life to her present roles, we talk about the importance of being welcoming and patient with yourself and others; jargon-busting; creating safe spaces for individuals; establishing your own objectives; and shifting the perspective on fitness - stop treating it as medicine and penance, and start recognising it as something vital and integral to every aspect of life.

A great episode, from a coach with a host of online resources.

 

Stern Four? Really? You really think that's what a catch looks like?
