049: Kit Bennett #2 | Head Coach & Director - Creating a Positive Erg Culture for Winter Training

In this episode we have Kit Bennett, Head Coach and Program Director for both Skyline Crew and the Washtenaw Rowing Center, and we dive deep into creating a positive erg culture that makes the erg approachable, develops fitness, and, most importantly, retains athletes! This is Kit’s second time on the podcast, and as always, the wealth of information he brings for managing a successful club/program makes this a must listen for coaches and directors!

Key Takeaways:

  • Positive Erg Culture - The need for changing how coaches frame winter training, and how that can help athletes better adhere to the erg and the training.

  • Running a Winter Program - Establishing a consistent training and erging baseline, that allows athletes to work hard, see progress, but not get overloaded.

  • Athlete Retention - Why coaches need to “hold their line” and why it is sometimes better for “addition through subtraction” when trying to maintain culture.
