054: Manny Valentin | Skidmore College - Building a Successful Team Culture from Youth through College Rowing

In this episode we have Manny Valentin, Head Coach for the Skidmore College Men’s and Women’s Rowing Programs, and we are diving into how to build a successful team culture from the ground up! From youth rowing to college rowing, we talk about the importance of retention, gamifying rowing, developing relationships with athletes, and the processes for success on the water.

Key Takeaways:

  • Coaching Youth Rowing - Why specialization is wrong for rowing at a young age, and the importance of gamifying training to keep kids engaged and energized about the sport.

  • Developing Connection with Athletes - How being personable and “human” as a leader can help create a fun environment and that athletes want to be a part of all four years.

  • Process Driven Coaching - How to achieve a goal, it is important to focus on “checking the box” daily rather than on just the outcome.
