How to Brief Your Crew So They Don't Cost You the Race

Your crew shows up on race day wanting to help. The problem is you never told them how.

In this episode, Isobel and Ron (who has crewed Isobel for years) break down exactly what a good crew needs to know before race day, and why most athletes get this completely wrong.

They cover what actually happens at crew points when the briefing hasn't happened, what a proper race plan looks like from the crew's perspective and how to handle the mental and emotional side of crewing.

Ron brings a perspective you don't often hear: what it's actually like to stand at a crew point watching someone you care about suffer, and what makes his job easier every single time.

What we cover:

What crewing actually is and what it isn't

What a crew needs to know from your race plan

Nutrition, gear, and logistics: the specifics that get missed

The mental stuff: what your dark place looks like and what you want your crew to say

What to do when an athlete is seriously considering dropping
