 Wanted Rowing Coach May 08, 2008
I enjoyed Brad Lewis's account of his coaching experiences at UCSB. People who are familiar with rowing and do some coaching would enjoy it the most. He has a great sense of humor.Wanted: Rowing Coach
For the rower Feb 16, 2008
As a rower myself, I greatly enjoyed reading this book. It gave me a bit of insight into a coach's mind and into how I think about rowing. I don't know how someone without knowledge of the sport would feel reading this book because it doesn't give one great specifics about some rowing terms, but nothing one could not look-up. In that respect, it doesn't delve into lots of rowing terms so I don't think the non-rower would be overwhelmed. It was a fun read, written like a diary of the events of the day for a coach and his thoughts on what to change, how to understand his rowers, and how to make the most of a season. I don't know who edited this because there were a handful of grammatical errors that you will notice, but it really doesn't take away from the reading.
 Lots of rowing nuggets here! Jan 10, 2008
Brad's book is a great read for rowers and crew coaches. He uses his excellent writing skills to combine a good story with lots of practical useable rowing drills and inspirational sayings. I would have loved having him as a coach. With all his superhuman coaching efforts, it was too bad his results were not better!
 Wanted: Rowing Coach Dec 30, 2007
The story is a good one, particularly if you are looking for a crew to coach, but I found the book so poorly written I couldn't read it all. A good story deserves more attention to the writing than Mr. Lewis provided. Where were the editors?
Another superb contribution to sports literature Dec 21, 2007
Thanks again to Brad Alan Lewis for this entertaining and illuminating look at the sport of rowing, and athletics in general. This is a fitting post script to Brad's earlier work, Assault on Lake Casitas, which is one of the best books on high level athletics ever written.
