I'm delighted to welcome Paul Thompson MBE to the show. Paul is a veteran of 8 Olympic games as a senior rowing coach. Paul's crews have won medals in the last 7 games where he's represented Australia, Great Britain and China. There are a remarkable number of similarities between rowing and motorsports. Paul Thompson shares with you his perspectives on the role of coaching and what you should look for in a coach. You'll learn how Paul Thompson sets up a winning training environment and how you can develop as a driver. He even shares a novel, but highly effective way, for you to rapidly reduce some weight. It is a fascinating show from one of the global legends in Olympic rowing. I hope you enjoy what Paul has to say...
