Arguably the greatest coach in British sporting history.
SHORTLISTED FOR THE TELEGRAPH SPORTS BOOK AWARDS Jurgen Grobler's
Olympic coaching career is one of legend, yet the man himself has
remained resolutely out of the spotlight. Over the last twenty
years he has masterminded British Rowing's incomparable success.
And when the difference between gold and silver can mean mere
fractions of a second, Jurgen Grobler has consistently delivered
Olympic gold through various boat classes and with an ever-changing
group of athletes. Arguably the greatest coach in British sporting
history, Grobler's unparalleled record outstrips many much better
known records and stories; building champions such as Sir Steve
Redgrave, Sir Matthew Pinsent and James Cracknell to name but few.
This authoritative account of Grobler's career straddles the Iron
Curtain, beginning in the German Democratic Republic, where
systemic state-funded doping was an open secret, before crossing to
Britain following the fall of the Berlin Wall. And whilst culture
and sport have shifted dramatically over the last half century,
Grobler's pursuit of greatness has never faltered. Written by
Olympic medallist, Hugh Matheson, and rowing historian, Christopher
Dodd, More Power is the unmissable story of one man's quest for
glory, and sets out to unlock the secrets of Jurgen Grobler: the
finest coach Olympic sport has ever seen.
