I've never thought of rowing solely as a sport.

To me it's an art, my form of expression, my way to create.

Some see it this way, many others don't and that's absolutely fine.

In this video I talk about what rowing means to me and how rules often act as a restriction to those who wish to create. There are no rules in art, there are no rules in rowing.

This is the first time I've felt able to put some of this into words - thanks Rick Ruben!

It begins to explain why I started Mind Body Row and some of the ways I share rowing and fitness with it's members.

I spent nine years losing before I won anything.

This is what that actually taught me - and why I think it's more useful than the medals.

In this video I talk about the stress fracture five days before Olympic qualification, finding out I'd been dropped from the squad via a phone call from my local newspaper, and the moments I genuinely considered walking away from rowing entirely.

And the three things that nine years of failure taught me that two Olympic gold medals never could.

Welcome to the latest Mind Body Row podcast with Tyler, Arctic rower, Everest summiteer, ultra endurance runner and all round great guy!

In this episode we discover where he found his love of the outdoors, the philosophy of being 'Omnivorously curious', his interest in pushing his ability to be comfortable in the uncomfortable and his wonderful approach to life.

Tyler is wise but has a youthful soul, a trait I have no doubt he'll keep throughout his entire life. Enjoy!
