Neil deGrasse Tyson Hits the Water with Arshay Cooper

Neil deGrasse Tyson rowed crew?! Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Gary O’Reilly and Chuck Nice take a trip down memory lane as they explore the lessons of rowing with Arshay Cooper: coach, activist, and author of A Most Beautiful Thing. How do you fix accessibility in rowing? We sit down with Arshay Cooper to discuss how he brings rowing to new communities. What’s it like to coach the first all black high school team? We explore Arshay’s journey to become a rower and later a coach in the West side of Chicago. What lessons can be learned from rowing crew? Is it the ultimate team sport? How do you navigate an overwhelmingly white sport? Also discover Arshay’s philosophy on life and what lessons we can take into our lives off the water.
