Henry Fieldman profile image

Henry was born in Hammersmith and grew up in Barnes near the River Thames.

He saw a lot of rowing growing up and always wanted to give it a try. He signed up for rowing at Latymer Upper School in Hammersmith under head coach Don McLachlan and then Bobby Thatcher. On day one they lined the new team up in height order and being at one end of the line, Henry was assigned to the coxswain’s seat where he has been ever since.

By the end of his school career he had won a seat to represent GB for the first time in the Coupe de la Jeunesse men’s coxed four, where he won two gold medals. Following his time at school, he moved to Imperial College to study Biology and later to Cambridge University for a masters degree in Psychology and Education. He continued rowing throughout this time and competed in the 2013 Boat Race, being beaten by a strong Oxford crew.

After his time at university, in 2014, Henry moved into the GB Senior National Team. Coxing for the men’s squad, Henry won two World Championship titles, two European titles as well as an Olympic Bronze medal at Tokyo 2020.

Henry now steers the women’s eight and helped them to qualify the boat for Paris 2024 with a fourth place finish at the 2023 World Championships and they are now pushing hard towards success at the Paris Olympics in 2024.

Outside of the coxing seat Henry runs his own coxing coaching business – Coxing Consultancy – where he has had success in helping a number of Junior coxes to success at the Junior World Championships. He also delivers talks to clubs and companies to share his learnings and experiences from a long career in high performance sport. He is also a board member for the Cambridge University Rowing Management Board as well as Coxing Coach to Cambridge University Boat Club.

Away from work and performance, Henry loves spending time experiencing and learning about the natural world as well as the creative industries with a particular passion for music and film.

Henry is the first man to cox a British women's crew at an international regatta following a rule change in 2017
