Williams Coaching
Robin Williams is a successful ex-GB rower and Gold Medal Olympic coach.
As well as offering coaching services he also runs Coaching Workshops around GB and speaks at coaching conferences.
Been a while since I posted but you might be interested in a couple of developments.
I've been helping British Rowing with some technique videos which are mid production right now. They hope to launch them later this year, so watch out for news about them.
I have also resumed coaching workshops and coaching support activities now that the Covid threat has diminished. Again, with BR we are looking at ways to support coaches on the water, as opposed to classroom type coach education. It'll be an autumn thing given that we're now in racing season.
Finally, if you're a BR member, keep an eye out for my final on-line articles on British Rowing Plus. All about those Micro Moments of technique, and Time, Timing & Rhythm.
Happy racing!

An interesting bit of CPD for yours truly yesterday. RYA Sea Survival is not an essential for rowing coaches but learning about cold water immersion and survival techniques was really interesting and FUN! 16 candidates from all walks of life, from professional fishermen to racing sailors, pleasure boaters, transatlantic adventurers (and me!).
Also interesting is their approach to education: a healthy mix of theory and practice all in one day.

Jan 29th saw Coaches' technique workshop number 30 take place TWO years since the last one, thanks to Covid shutting things down. This one was hosted by University of York Boat Club and with York City, Bradford, Hull Kingston RC, and St Peters School York all in attendance.
A great day together discussing coaching styles and ingredients of success, plus lots on technique.
Hopefully 2022 will see a few more happen around the UK.

Miami in January? What's not to like! A great week coaching with Hydrow, filming, and catching up with old ex-lightweight adversary, Jim Green. Jim, formerly Kingston RC, these days coaching at Miami Beach RC.

Scottish Rowing Academy & J16 Camp December 2021. A really engaging crop of youngsters - some great questions and chats about, guess what? ROWING! It's always refreshing to see young faces with their sporting journey unfolding ahead of them. Shame we couldn't access Strathclyde for the water work but still a useful weekend.
Thanks to Lee Boucher and his team for inviting me, and making it run so smoothly.

Robin Williams
“Having worked in high performance rowing for many years it is very clear that while the athletes go out and win the medals the coach is a vital central ingredient - every great crew or team has a top coach behind them. Indeed, most teams have cycles of success and fallow periods and these very often coincide with the quality of the coach in charge.
But what makes a great coach? Many have access to the same knowledge but not all achieve the same results. So, after the 2016 Rio Olympics I set up a series of coaches workshops around the UK to address this very issue and help coaches of all levels from occasional volunteers to full time professionals.
Robin Williams has grown up with rowing as a competitor and coach. He has several decades of experience at all levels from club to Olympic and with men, women, lightweights, heavyweights, under 23’s, and juniors.
Most notably he had success during 10 years with Cambridge University winning 7 University Boat Races and 12 years with GB Rowing during which time he coached the gold medal LM4- in 2007 and the W2- of Glover/Stanning from 2010 to 2016 who won 2 Olympic gold medals as well as several European and World titles.
