S2 Episode 5 Camilla Hadland has a voice that many of you will recognise. Having started rowing as a junior at a small club, she won a place in the U23 Women’s 8 and competed at the World Junior Championships in 2010, where they won Britain's first ever women’s gold medal at that event. After university, where she was President of her university boat club, she stopped rowing regularly and moved over into coaching.Camilla fell into commentating, but soon found herself in demand. In 2018 she won World Rowing’s first ever commentating competition and achieved a spot commentating at the World Cup in Serbia. Since then she’s regularly commentated at international events and is part of the commentary team at the Tokyo Olympics. Having done a couple of stints commentating at my club regatta, I was fascinated to hear all about her experiences and to glean some wisdom from her.We talked about:How Camilla got started in rowing and her multiple capsizesLearning to row in a small club set upBeing selected for the GB Team at the Junior WorldsThe challenges of looking after your health while training at such a high levelBody image and the ups and downs Camilla has had with itNot making it into the U23 8+ and moving across into coachingFavourite seat in the boatHow Camilla got started in commentatingHow she learned the craft of commentating - how to cater for the whole audience and create atmosphereFinding your own voiceDifferent types of event - the different preparations and styleThe challenges of live streaming remotely from the European Championships The idea set up for commentatingHow to make an uneventful race sound excitingKeeping tabs on rowing teams throughout the yearMaking mistakes - and learning from themHow to show compassion to a crew losing badlyEssential equipmentAdvice for anyone wanting to improve their commentary skills or progress in commentatingPlans for Tokyo and the likely challengesLet me know if you're inspired to have a go at commentating or to take your experiences of it to a new level.
