Bryan Alston: A Voice to Row to
I chat with Bryan Alston, the coxswain behind one of the most watched collegiate rowing videos on YouTube. A walk-on with a stutter, Bryan eventually steered the Dartmouth varsity lightweights to a silver medal finish at the 2011 Eastern Sprints and bronze at the IRAs, as well as numerous gold medal wins for the Marin Masters Men.
We discuss a range of topics, including how growing up with a stutter impacted his coxing, why listening to coxes in foreign languages is a shortcut to success, the underappreciated benefits of Masters rowing and much more.
Watch/listen to his Sprints recording here: https://youtu.be/LDvx9VCWZeo?si=nJ8-yutHPZb81wVY

Customer Reviews
Suggestion for matt
Glad to see you highlighting rowing! Suggested guests: @aquil_hydrow - Olympian. About commercializing this sport to make it more accessible. @joshcrosbyfitness who leads Apple fitness rowing. They’d be great together or apart as they rowed the jr national team together I think. Or a different boat I may be wrong.
More Diversity
I had high hopes for this podcast but the lack of diversity in guests is a huge miss. So far 10 out of 11 of the guests have been males involved in the sport, 1 out of 11 is female, and all are white. We can do better than this.
