In this episode of Last Stroke Counts, we sit down with the President of the Oxford University Boat Club Ella Stadler. 

Ella offers an inside look into her journey from being a novice college rower to taking up the leadership role, managing the challenges and expectations of one of the world's most distinguished rowing institutions.

Ella discusses the recent integration of Oxford's men's and women's squads under her presidency, a move aimed at strengthening the club’s competitive edge against longstanding rival Cambridge. She shares insights on the meticulous process of selecting the right coach to foster this new unified system and ultimately revitalise the team’s performance.

Reflecting on the intense spotlight of The Boat Race and media attention, Ella talks about the pressures and privileges of her role. She outlines her ambitious vision for the club’s future, emphasising a culture that attracts top talent and nurtures them not just as rowers, but as individuals poised to excel beyond university waters.

So, tune in & join us as we explore the nuances of leadership, legacy, and the relentless pursuit of excellence at Oxford, where every last stroke counts.
