How we can work together

Standalone services you book when you want them, a programme that is yours to keep, or coaching rebuilt every four weeks around how you are actually going.

On the coaching tiers, you choose how to begin, either a Full Assessment for greater depth and analysis, or straight into the subscription, and we sharpen it as we go.

Standalone

A one-off, whenever you want it

Book a session, a rigging job, or a video breakdown whenever you want one. Nothing ongoing behind it, and nothing to cancel.

On-water coaching: technique, boat feel, race craft
Boat rigging and setup: hands-on, dialled to you
Video analysis: filmed, broken down, written up
Consult calls: technique, training, whatever's on your mind

Charlotte · In-person coaching · 6+ months

Nick's an excellent coach who takes the time to get to know you and build genuinely bespoke programmes around your goals, strengths and weaknesses. His expertise goes well beyond coaching beginners, where he already has a proven track record of success; he also has the knowledge and experience to work with competitive rowers with ambitious goals.

Harry · Personal Coaching · 12+ months

His coaching style is excellent. He sees clearly each rower's personal strengths and weaknesses, and will then break down the components of a stroke clearly and progressively so that you can work on each of them in a way that effectively builds the whole.

Louise · In-person coaching · 6+ months

Nick has the ability to home in on just a couple of really important techniques that are going to maximise uplift. He gives simple and clear guidance, instead of information overload.

What everything runs on

Three things hold true across everything here, whether that is a single rigging session or a two-year build.

One coach, start to finish

There is no team here and nothing is outsourced. The person who writes your programme is the person who coaches you, reviews your footage, and answers your emails.

The whole athlete

On-water, erg, strength and conditioning, mobility, and how your boat is set up. Most coaching stops at one of those. I am thinking about all of them, whether that is a 90-minute rigging session or a 24-week build.

You learn the why

I would rather you understood the reasoning than followed instructions. It makes you a better athlete, and it means you can make good calls on the days I am not there.
