Guy Monseair, the esteemed Head Coach and Executive Director of City Island Rowing, has been featured in an in-depth interview on Ideamensch, where he divulges the secrets behind his productive routines, innovative coaching strategies, and the philosophies that shape his approach to sports and life.

In the interview, Monseair, known for his unique blend of intensive coaching and personal development, outlines a typical day that often begins before dawn on the stunning waters of Long Island Sound, working with his top development athletes. This provides not just an opportunity to further their skill sets, but the early morning start, before his athletes' friends even wake up, engrains work ethic and personal accountability. In the still and quiet of pre-dawn, he is able to engage with his athletes more one on one, inviting their input on the morning's workouts, turning the outing into a collaborative effort. Encouraging his athletes to take ownership in their future success, and ingraining the message that "coach and athlete are in it together".

Monseair's approach ensures that every team member has a stake in not only their own personal development , but contributes to the overall program's success. This method not only fosters a stronger team dynamic but also encourages new initiatives.

A firm advocate for the use of technology in sports, Monseair expresses his excitement about the integration of tools like biomechanical analysis and performance tracking software. These tools allow for data-driven decisions that significantly boost athlete performance and training efficiency. Monseair considers the sport of rowing to be "physics in motion" and a great deal can be learned from empirical data, derived from external force and angle measurements, as well as physiological responses, including tracking heart rate exertion and recovery.

Reflecting on his personal and professional growth, Monseair shares invaluable advice for his younger self and other coaches: focus on the bigger, long term picture. Try not to focus too much on immediate success and setbacks, rather develop methodologies and a team culture that will guide current and future rowers to success. He also emphasizes the importance of regular self-evaluation, a practice that he credits for continuous improvement in both his personal life and his coaching career.

One of the more provocative views Monseair shares is his belief in non-competitive participation in sports, suggesting that there is a valuable place for athletes who engage in sports for personal growth and enjoyment rather than competitive pressures. Anytime you can get a young person outdoors, away from their "screen" and exercising is awesome. And who knows what hitherto unrealized athleticism lies beneath.

Throughout the interview, Monseair also touches on various topics, including his strategies for dealing with stress, the importance of community engagement, and his experiences with failure and delegation. He generously offers a business idea about creating an app to connect retired athletes with local sports programs for guest coaching sessions.

In addition to his professional insights, Monseair reveals personal anecdotes about his life, including the simple joy he experiences with each and every sunrise, in what he describes as "The great outdoors is the most universal church".

The full interview on Ideamensch provides a comprehensive look at Monseair's thoughtful and innovative approaches to coaching, team building, and personal development, making it a must-read for aspiring coaches, athletes, and anyone interested in the intersection of sports and life coaching.
