Now that you bring up the boots - I think the whole squad should be made to play in those heavy black ones, to a person. No more aqua, orange, yellow, purple, magenta, white, pink or hi-vis two tones - and no more low cuts either. The heavy leather boots, the ones Plugger wore. Call it a penalty, call it a training initiative - whatever. Learn to run and kick in a man's boots before cashing a pay check.
And pull your socks up (until you've got a win/loss ratio to be proud of) - it will differentiate you from the women's team.
There - now that's two high-performance ideas that have nothing to do with rowing.
