The Zone of Excellence site by noted Canadian Sports Psychologist Terry Orlick provides quite a number of resources worth reading for free. The site is focusing on excellence in all areas, so you will find articles about such fields as surgery, musicians and being an astronaut in addidion to all of the sports resources.
This site is rich in content whether you are looking for information to help your rowing, or for your life away from the water.
Also available from the site:
The Journal of Excellence - all issues online are free
and one free book- Psyched: Inner views of winning
The book includes two chapters about rowers:
GRANT MAIN & KEVIN NEUFELD
1984 OLYMPIC CHAMPIONS - ROWING, MEN'S 8 - PERSPECTIVE OF THE CREW
and (note the interesting title)
BRIAN MCMAHON
1984 OLYMPIC CHAMPIONS - ROWING, MEN'S 9 - PERSPECTIVE OF COXWAIN
There is a lot in those chapters and several more interesting chapters from other sports - well worth a look.
