Melissa and Briony's adoration for HBARC and rowing is well known, so the British Rowing Coaching Conference 2025 was always going to be the ideal environment to feed their rowing curiosity – how much rowing chat can you listen to without actually getting out on the water?![]()
This totally immersive weekend at the University of Birmingham meant we came away with team building ideas from Andrew Randall, GB Rowing Team Women’s Olympic Head Coach, understood better the many pathways for our young rowers, learnt more about mobility, strength and conditioning, specifically for more mature rowers(!) as well as finding out about some great opportunities for our juniors. They also listened to talks about neurodiversity in rowing, female rowers, coaching through play, British Rowing Techniques, training technical movements and the coaching cycle. Phew! ![]()
Thank you GB Rowing, that was inspirational, and we made some great connections!![]()
