Explaining Henley or Head of Charles to non-rowers

Every head coach

When you tell your coach that your 2k goal split is impossible

When the balance is off and you’re forced to row square blades to teach you a lesson

When someone says they “don’t mind” ergs

When you’re struggling to carry the boat and you can see someone hasn’t got it on their shoulders

Realising you need to pee 10 seconds into an outing

When you watch someone row and they have really good technique

When someone brings out some old rowing footage and you spot your technical errors

When you’re coxing and say the wrong call and the rowers still respond

Me in the first 500m....

...in the third 500m

When you’re doing a race piece and stroke doesn’t drop the rate as you lengthen out

When your coach uses a weird analogy to explain something

Unapologetically wearing stash and rowing kit all the time

Sharing my wisdom with the novices

When you’re coxing at 7 but going out at 8

When you spend most of the session doing technical work
