NOTES

Oxford Brookes University Boat Club has risen from obscurity to being acclaimed as probably the best rowing club in the world, winning no less than 13 titles at Henley Royal Regatta in the last two years. With a historical overview, analysis, photographs and interviews, this book lifts the lid on how inspirational coaches Richard Spratley and Henry Bailhache-Webb have taken Brookes to the very top of rowing, with athletes (men and women) who now compete with, and usually beat, the very best national and international crews. It is a story of sporting excellence, of hard work, innovation and sports psychology, but also contains lessons for anyone who wants to develop a high-performance, winning culture in their organisation
