Jim Dietz is a world renowned USA rowing coach and adviser with heavy Olympic and World Championships experiences as both a rower and a coach. His incredible life in rowing began with him sculling in high school, soon taking away the first Junior World Championships single title in 1967. His career continued to grow from there while he raced as a member for almost every US National Team from 1967-1983 (including Olympic games in 1972, 1976 and 1980).

Since then his attention has been drawn to coaching! Very soon his coaching exploits had earned him recognition. One of his more notable roles was coaching the Minutewomen from the University of Massachusetts to seven consecutive Atlantic 10 team championships (including the 2002 crown). His success doesn’t end on the water, though, as his program has produced a league-leading 17 Atlantic 10 Academic All-Conference performers, eight Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association National Scholar Athletes who have earned a total of 11 citations, and four US Rowing Association Academic All-Americans. In addition, his teams annually lead UMass’ Atlantic 10 Commissioner’s Honor Roll selections.

Past coaching, Jim has spent much of his time creating various groups to support the world of rowing. One such group was the Thames River Sculls, a non-profit sculling center producing members that've won numerous titles at the US Scholastic championships.

London Youth Rowing is a charity dedicated to rowing for all, especially the young and the less fortunate. Matt Rostron, CEO of London Youth Rowing, is joining us on RowingChat this month to discuss how they achieve their goals and grow the London rowing community.

They have achieved success in some ambitious rowing projects. They've delivered indoor rowing to state secondary schools accross London, founded the National Junior Indoor Rowing Championships, and work regularlywith over 8,000 11-18 year olds every year to open up the world of rowing, both competitive and recreational.

When Matt joined, the charity was very small indeed, with just 3 full time members of staff. Now they operate with a 23 person team and are expanding their reach into other sports (Canoeing and Sailing) with some big name partners.

Matt talks here about how to grow accessibility, how to fund raise; what it takes to enable rowing with organisations and partners who have no knowledge of the sport, and smart ways to coach young people.
