Rowing Blazers’ Post

For those in my network from rowing; How British Rowing can support coaches outside of the classroom is changing, here's a window into that work: https://lnkd.in/eqWxE_T4

Assumptions people make of rowing: 1. It’s easy. 😂 Just ask James Corden 2. It’s expensive ❌ Love Rowing and various clubs including mine, Ross Rowing Club, have set up free or very low cost sessions to welcome young people, people with disabilities, people who are unemployed or low waged. 3. It’s posh 🙈Now then, depends who you meet. Is it egalitarian? Historically it was an able bodied men’s sport. With effort that got moved to a men’s, women’s and children’s sport, including adaptive rowing at all levels. Historically it was predominantly privately educated people because rowing was taught there. Nowadays thanks to a clear focus by Love Rowing and British Rowing, on inclusion, including helping state schools and community clubs to widen participation, we are shifting the dial. The more people see and hear of people in their communities loving their rowing, the more they feel welcomed and at home in our beautiful sport.

Running a rowing club or program is challenging, involving people, equipment, facilities, and processes. The revised NK Sports Rowing Grant Program is part of the solution. Read more: https://bit.ly/3qdAyNz

If the former COO, and now current CEO of Rowing Australia Sarah Cook doesn't want to take responsibility for under performance on her watch. Will she at least take responsibility for the safeguarding of the sport of rowing at the school level? With a semblance of honesty, integrity, and transparency. How many Order of Australia Medals and Life Members of Rowing Australia and Rowing NSW does it take to collude and cover up victim blaming, bullying interference, disrespect for the umpire, and competition manipulation? How many? Where do you stand Sarah Cook CEO Rowing Australia? Honesty, integrity, transparency, or collusion and cover up? Safeguarding school rowing or celebrating and rewarding the worst display of cheating in the sport of rowing? What do you stand for? What does your Board stand for? And is it your responsibility to act with honesty, integrity, and transparency when safe, fair, and rules based sport is corrupted?

I believe Coaches have many questions to ask between athletes and parents. And, one of them is the distance from home. I think we must ask both the athlete and parents how comfortable they are going away from home. #Yoursportsresource #Sportsleadership #Headcoach #Swimcoach #Youthsports #Nonprofit #Youth #Sports #Sportsclub #Swimming # #Sportculture #Swimculture #Parentboard #Parentvolunteer #Volunteer #Athlete

I just passed the World Rowing Course in Safeguarding. This gives a better understanding of how to treat one another. Remember to look after each other, and have a nice summer. Safeguarding Essentials for Athletes’ Entourage Members. Safeguarding and creating safe sport environments are everybody's responsibility. We all have a role to play and should be held accountable. This course is an introductory safeguarding course intended to provide athletes’ entourage members with the necessary knowledge and tools to contribute to creating a safe and supportive environment for everybody in rowing, especially rowing athletes. #WorldRowing #Safeguarding

We know many people who've used #running to get them of a rut or mental hole. Here's a simple but powerful testimonial video from @EnglandAthletics about the power of running. Well worth taking a look at before you go for a run.
