Description: Timestamps to the show 01:00 Introduction and background in rowing 3:00 What it is like stroking the US womens eight and being coached by Tom Terhar 07:00 Funding is a blessing and a curse, it keeps the sport pure and there's little incentive to take drugs. 09:00 Tom is our enigma. He cares a lot and wants the best for his athletes; is sparing in his praise.  I learned to stop questioning. 15:00 The moment I became a great stroke, I realised that is doesn't matter what I do.  It's what I enable the team to do. 19:00 The team connection is "glue" the coaching and culture we created our own bonding. 21:00 Handling stress "Billie Jean King said pressure is a privilege" 24:00 Rehabilitation from injury and the psychology of recovery - don't make yourself miserable. 33:00 Her retirement - a legal career has a lack of goals and metrics to measure performance. 50:00 What trade offs is Jurgen willing to make that other coaches don't? 42:00 The differences between rowing at Harvard and Oxford 44:00 Drills for junior rowers - learn to row feet out on an erg or boat at a stroke rate of 24 or less.
