Long overdue welcome

By admin • Jan 27th, 2009 • Category: Lead story

As we roll to the end of January it’s all downhill now to the big head races, training camp and then summer racing… although summer still seems a long way off.

This year we have been very lucky with our coaching team, welcoming a whole bunch of new coaches to the club. Elise Laverick (double Olympic bronze medallist), ever loyal to Thames, has joined, along with GB squad friends, Al Heathcote (Olympic silver medallist), Carla Ashford and Baz Moffat (both world bronze medallists). All of our squads have benefited from their extensive knowledge of rowing-specific training, including motivation, nutrition, weight training, stroke profiles and race preparation.

We have also welcomed Will Robins as our new Juniors coach.

These are all in addition to our established seasoned and committed coaching team.
