Kendall Brodie (Coxswain)

NSW | Sydney Rowing Club

Making her debut for the Australian Rowing Team in 2018, Kendall Brodie became the first woman to cox an Australian Men's Eight at the World Rowing Cups. The Sydney Rowing Club member has coxed many a crew overseas, including Sydney Rowing Club's Men's Coxed Four to the Britannia Cup at the Henley Royal Regatta in 2015. The coxswain is a Graphic and UX designer while also a rowing coach, and can also play the cello. Her favourite place to row is Hen and Chicken Bay in Sydney. In 2018, she coxed Australia's Men's Eight to a silver medal at the 2018 World Rowing Rowing Cup 3 and the World Rowing Championships. She also coxed the Georgina Hope Rinehart NTC Men's Eight at the 2018 Henley Royal Regatta with the crew winning the Grand Challenge Cup in record time.

For the 2022 international season, Brodie was selected as the Coxswain of the A.R.T. Men’s sweep squad.

During the two 2022 World Cup regattas held in Poznan and Lucerne respectively, the Australian Men’s Eight won a Silver Medal at both said regattas.  Brodie was the Cox of both crews.

She was also selected to steer the ART Men’s Eight at the 2022 World Rowing Championships held in Račice, Czech Republic.  The crew qualified for the A Final and won a Bronze medal.

In 2023, Kendall was again the rudder for the men's eight for a successful season, with the highlight being a first-place finish at the World Rowing Cup III in which the Australians upset the favourites the United Kingdom in the final. Later that year Kendall would also be coxswain in a second-straight bronze medal finish for Australia at the World Championships.
