Field notes
The project builds its identity around a specific rowing frustration: athletes who produce plenty of power but are told they make the boat feel heavy. Kirkham links that problem to 15 years of experience and an Olympic gold-medal background, while the visible site remains an audience-gathering homepage rather than a published coaching library. Its signup distinguishes Meataxes, their coaches, and their crewmates.
