Words EMILY SPIEGEL
Nobody has ever contested the indisputable fact that rowers are highly motivated individuals. It kind of goes hand-in-hand with getting up before the sun to work out for 2+ hours in varying degrees of cold and rain. However, understanding the differences in motivation between individuals is a more complex topic. It’s a topic that I’ve been interested in since I joined the rowing community, and one that has only become more interesting since I began to coach and became captain of my college team.
