Timing… sometimes it’s a gift.
I interviewed Matt Brittin CBE on my #rowing podcast last year about lessons for work he learned from rowing. Suddenly I got a spike in website visits as his name got in the frame for the top job at the BBC.

Only one journalist got in touch – William Turvill – and he quoted me as part of the “background colour” in his article. It’s a free link to read.

Rowers can be great executives because of the learned discipline, focus and attention to detail our sport demands when performed at a high level. More than anything, you learn time management when workouts take an hour or more, and the mental health benefits of leaving life behind when you’re on the water are legion.
