Meat and Potatoes (feat. John Graves)

Hudson Forster (feat. John Graves) Episode 78

Welcome everyone to another episode featuring Head Coaches around the world, where this week we get an opportunity to hear from, Mr. John Graves, current Head Coach of Dartmouth Women’s Rowing and former Associate Head Coach of the Men’s Heavyweight team. An avid rower from a well-known family in crew, John (the youngest of three) reflects on his time rowing in college at Trinity, following up on the legacy left by his relatives and the impact his brother Peter made on the program (Olympian & Head Coach of Trinity Women’s Rowing) & Tom (Current Head Coach of Long Beach Junior Men’s Crew).

On this episode, we speak on the “meat and potatoes” of the rowing stroke, move from coaching the men at Dartmouth to the women & the recent changes in recruitment through the NCAA, 2023 Under-23 Selection Camp, along with the amazing facilities available to the athletes on the team and how sculling is still a valued art of rowing, filtered within the program. Dartmouth’s fall season starts off this weekend at the Head of the Housatonic, leading into the infamous Head of the Charles Regatta the 20th-22nd of October this year. Be sure to be on the lookout of the Big Green as they embark on the 2023-2024 season together as one!
