🚣♂️ The Future of Rowing: Navigating the Waters of Innovation and Change
As the tides of change flow, every sport undergoes an evolution - and rowing is no exception. With the increasing integration of technology and new methods of training, it's imperative that we cast our gaze ahead to envision the future of rowing.
Here's why this matters:
1️⃣ Athletes & Coaches - Understanding the trends means optimising training, leveraging new tools, and staying ahead of the competition.
2️⃣ Stakeholders & Enthusiasts - Knowledge of where the sport is heading can help in making informed investments, be it time, money, or resources.
3️⃣ The Rowing Community - The more we understand, the more unified and strengthened our community becomes, ensuring the sport thrives for generations to come.
By delving deep into emerging trends, we're not just predicting the future; we're shaping it. Let's embark on this journey together, identifying opportunities and overcoming challenges, ensuring that the legacy of rowing remains strong and vibrant.
🤔 What are your thoughts on the future of rowing? Are there any trends you foresee? Let's open the floor for a lively discussion!

I agree with Ryan Lean's perspective on the importance of focusing on missions and goals. It brings to mind a quote by Phil Jackson: "The team's strength lies in each individual member, and each member's strength lies in the team." The crucial aspect is not to prioritize what is already on your schedule, but rather to schedule your priorities and collaborate as a team.

“Only someone who is not rowing, has time to rock the boat.”
A good reminder to stay focused on your goals and priorities, especially when walking down Broadway in Nashville.
Motofish recently launched a new project with the University of Washington Men's Rowing Team entitled Rowtown, USA.
The idea of Rowtown, USA was created to embody all rowing in Seattle, both its history and its future, ‘This small city in the Pacific Northwest has produced so many Olympic medals and national championships and we wanted to show U.S. Rowing and the rest of our nation that you can develop Olympic class athletes, not just in 1936, but also here in this day and age. It's something we're really proud of.’ - Michael Callahan, Head Coach, Men’s Rowing, UW
All of this is to say that over the course of six months we spent a lot of early mornings on the water. We had some freedom to shape this project through what we saw and through an understanding of what would be valuable to the team. The feature length piece draws a line between the ‘Boys in the Boat’ team and the current program. We also provided the UW with snappy cutdowns for social and loads of stills.
Writing and directing Rowtown, USA really allowed us to go deep. While there are very few of us that can produce 600 watts over the course of 2000m there are some universal truths including this last thought from Coach Callahan, ‘Of course, we want our athletes to win races and we want them to succeed. I think you learn a lot from the pursuit of success, but I think the most important thing is that you realize that the work developed you. The journey with your teammates will serve you for the rest of your life.’. Woof. https://lnkd.in/gfnfQWYu

Dear friends of rowing,
“Do you believe it’s important to you to have a national rowing team? Do you subscribe to the value of a South African national squad? That’s the question you have to ask. If you think rowing matters, you need to sign up. One by one we will build this thing.”
Ramon DiClemente
Olympic medallist, Crew Support.
We know the international funding playing field isn’t level. That’s clear. But look at what we do with what we’ve got. Imagine if we had the backing of our entire community.
The best thing that you can do, beyond signing up as Crew Support yourself (!!), is to SHARE. Share the goal, share #WeRowSA posts, share the competition! Invite your friends, family and followers to like and follow RowSA pages on Facebook, Instagram and X.
We need to get the word out so we can build our store of support for the squads.
🚣And of course, WIN WITH #WEROWSA!
Head to RowSA platforms, find THE CREW NEEDS YOU post, and enter to win epic prizes. 💪
Gold medals aren’t won by the crew. They’re won by everyone pulling together.
There is no better time to sign up.
