004: Jim Mitchell | University of Wisconsin - Why college rowing is not high school rowing


Listen Later

In this episode we sit down with Jim Mitchell, the Associate Head Coach for the University of Wisconsin women's rowing program.

Jim's experience as a coach, entering year 9 at Wisconsin, and having spent time at many other collegiate programs, gives him valuable insight into why college rowing is different from high school rowing, and some of the best practices from the athletes who have the most success as college athletes.

We talk about the difference in resources from Power 5 D1 programs to smaller D1 programs, the intensity and commitment athletes who want to row D1 should be prepared for, what can be learned from the walk-ons who have seen success at every level of college and international rowing, and so much more!

A little more on Jim's coaching career...

  • Associate Head Coach at the University of Wisconsin (2015-Present)
  • Jacksonville University Director of Rowing & Head Coach for men's and women's rowing (12 years)
  • Assistant Coach at West Virginia University
  • Assistant Coach & Boatman at the University of Miami
  • Former college wrestler and rowing walk-on at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga
  • This is Episode 004 of The At The Thousand Training Podcast, and Jim provided a great snapshot of what college rowing is about.

    I encourage you to pass this along to your teammates who are interested in college rowing.
