Coached by Cam
Me as your coach. Properly behind you.
This is me coaching you directly. I write and adjust your plan, I watch your footage as it lands, and you can get hold of me whenever you need to. I only take five athletes at a time, so I read every application myself.
A few quick questions. I'll reply within 2 days.

CB (me)
New PB after six years
Six years stuck on the same personal best. Consistent, targeted training finally broke it.
RK
Sub-7:30 goal → 6:28
Wanted to break 7:30 and laughed when I said we'd look at sub-7. Medalled at the British Indoors with a 6:28.
EG
2k: 7:01 → 6:42
Came over from running and chased rowing-machine world records. Set several in the 40+ category.
EH
Sub-7 and off to Princeton
Worked together to get under 7:30 for university recruiting, then kept going to sub-7.
JH
Zero to rowing at 55
Wanted to start safely. Now on the water and erging several times a week. His doctor asked how he's so fit.

What I coach
Getting faster takes more than a programme.
Fitness is one bit. Turning it into boat speed, fitting it round your life and getting it out on race day are the rest.
Your fitness
We test where you are, then train what actually needs improving. Not what everyone else is doing.
Your technique
Video reviews pick out the one or two changes that make the biggest difference, so fitness shows up as speed.
Your structure
Erg, water, weights and rest planned together around the time you've actually got.
Your race day
Pacing, prep and what to think when it hurts. So the work turns into a result.
The support around your training

A typical week
What being coached by me actually looks like.
Every day
I'm reading your sessions as they come in, not at the end of the week.
When life happens
Travel, work, fatigue. WhatsApp me and the plan changes that day.
Stroke footage
Send it whenever. It goes to the front of the queue and I come back with the one or two things worth changing.
When it needs a chat
We jump on a call. No fixed weekly slot, just when it's useful.
Big picture
Testing, racing and the long-term plan, decided together.
Your first month
Week 1: getting to know you
Your history, your goals, what your week looks like and what has or hasn't worked before.
Week 1–2: testing
A couple of test pieces so the training starts from where you actually are.
Weeks 2–4: settling in
The plan gets tuned as your coach learns how you respond. This is where most people notice easy days finally feel easy.
End of month one
A look back at what changed and what we focus on next.
