Part of the series of interviews on how to use a power meter in rowing. James Goodwin is the head of sports science with the Swiss Rowing Federation and shares his experience in how to train using power as a metric to maximise training performance and ultimately boat speed.
Join me as I interview Michael Naughton, Chief Operating Officer at Nielsen-Kellerman about the Empower Oarlock.
Noel Donaldson is widely acknowledged as one of the world's most successful rowing coaches, building and leading teams to win multiple world championships and olympic gold medals over 3 decades in two different countries. As part of the series on using power meters in rowing, Noel shares the lessons learnt from using power meters with Gold medal international crews to school crews, and how they can help you to make the boat go faster.
Join me in my conversation with Michael Naughton, Chief Operations Officer Nielsen Kellerman.
Michael holds a Master of Science, in Naval Architecture/Ocean Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, and a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Miami.
Join me as I discuss with Pete King and Dick Smith, from Oxford England, why and how they power meters in rowing. We discuss the brand they use. How they use the data to determine seating in the coxless four. How they use the data to understand strengths and areas for improvement.
Pete and Dick are two members of the Wallingford coxed four that won the masters title at the Head of The Charles regatta in 2017 and set a new course record in 2018. They are part of the highly successful Wallingford crew that have won multiple National and International masters rowing titles.

Join me as I speak with Matt Draper about his experience in rowing over the last 30-years that has taken Matt from High Performance Manager with Australian Rowing to organising Olympic and World Rowing Championship events.
In this episode I talk with Jan Lammers, CEO of RP3 Rowing Machines.
This episode will help you better understand the range from Concept2.
Meredith and Kevin explain all there is to know about the different blades, oar shaft and grips from Concept2. We discuss how Concept2 started to where they are today. Key differences between the different blade shapes and oar shaft. How to set up the boat with different oars. How to care and maintain the equipment. To ideas and best practice on how to test which set of oars/scull are the best for you.
Join me as I talk with highly experienced applied Sports Biomechanist Dr Conny Draper PhD about how what we can learn from how National Teams analyse the rowing stroke to go faster. Conny has a vast expertise in Rowing, Canoe Kayak (Sprint and Slalom), Para Sport, and a range of other sports including Diving, Swimming, Athletics.
Conny was the Senior Sports Biomechanist for Rowing at the Australian Institute of Sport and now Consulting in Applied Sports Biomechanics, to National Rowing Teams, Universities and Masters Rowers interested in taking analysis and applied understanding of how to move the boat to the next level.

Live interview with Iztok Cop, at the European Junior Championships, where Itzok explains the Filippi small boat range.
If you want to know what single scull is best suited to you, take some time to hear Itztok explain all the differences between the Filippi small boat range. Refreshingly open and fun conversation with one of the legends of our sport.
In this episode, I talk with Prof Samuele Marcora about how the brain regulates performance, and what we can do about this to go Faster.
Prof Marcora is well known in the world of sports science and considered an expert in this subject.
He has a Bachelor in Physical Education from the Higher Institute of Physical Education of Lombardy (Italy). A MSc in Human Performance at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse (USA), and a PhD in Exercise Physiology at the University of Wales-Bangor (UK). He has taught at the Bangor University (UK) and the University of Kent (UK) , where he was made an honorary Professor.
Prof Marcora's research integrates exercise physiology with motivation psychology and cognitive neuroscience to better understand fatigue, endurance performance and physical activity behaviour. He is the author of Sport and the Brain: The science of preparing, enduring and winning, and has over 185 scientific articles, being cited over 10,000 times. He has been a consultant for many organisations including British Ministry of Defence, Juventus, MAPEI Sport and ASICS, and in 2018 he began his post at the University of Bologna, where he teaches applied physiology and training methodology.
