BEN
HUNT-DAVIS
Ben Hunt-Davis
inspires all
who meet him
with his real-life
experiences
of becoming
one of the
world’s
top rowers.
Ben became
involved in
rowing at
school, and
while studying
Civil Engineering
at Oxford
Polytechnic;
he came second
in the World
Under 23 Rowing
Championships.
A few months
later, he
was selected
to compete
in the 1992
Barcelona
Olympics as
the youngest
member of
the British
Rowing Team.
He has now
been in the
British Team
ever since
and has now
competed in
three World
Championships
and three
Olympic Games.
At the Sydney
Olympics in
2000, Ben’s
team, the
Men’s
8, won the
Gold in the
Blue Ribbon
rowing event
and became
the first
British team
to do so since
1912. They
were each
awarded an
MBE in the
New Years
Honours list
of that year.
While training
for competitions,
Ben also gained
valuable experience
training Oxford
University’s
Women’s
Rowing Clubs
teams for
six years.
Ben brings
to his coaching
an invaluable
insight into
what it takes
to perform
at the top
of your game,
how to take
a proactive
approach to
setbacks,
and how to
motivate yourself
to achieve
your goals
and help your
team achieve
theirs.
