Callum Elder

Hi all,

I’m Callum. Here’s why you should vote for me as Men’s Captain:

Resilience & Experience – I’ve been through every stage of this sport—weakest to strongest, national champion and unable to make a 3^rd VIII, battling chronic illness to making comebacks. I understand setbacks and will help you navigate them.

Culture of Success – Six years in a world-class junior program have given me a deep understanding of what fosters a winning and happy squad. I’ll help build a culture where we thrive together.

Coaching & Development – Years of experience coaching rowers, alongside world-class coaches, from novice to national champion level. I’ll support technical growth and understanding, not just for rowers but also for coxes through recordings, videos, and insights from high-level coxes.

Clear communication – With a biomedical background, I’ll bridge the gap between training and understanding. I’ll ensure you know why our programme works and communicate your needs to the staff, making sure that no bullshit which doesn’t stand up to scientific scrutiny is accepted.

Fighting for You – I care deeply about this club and will always have your back—even if it means challenging coaches to make sure your interests are met.

I want to help make next year exceptional for every member of the squad!

Thanks x
