Meet, Emily

What makes rowing fun?

My teammates and my coaches make rowing fun everyday, because not only do they all motivate and inspire me, but they create such a friendly atmosphere in the club!

What have you learned about yourself through becoming a rower?

I have learned what limits I set myself, and how to push those limits when racing and training. And, when races haven’t gone as I had hoped, rowing has taught me resilience and determination.

Has watching the 2016 Olympics altered your attitude towards your sport in any way?

I loved watching the rowing – especially Helen Glover and Heather Stanning – they are such an inspiration to me. I just feel more motivated to work as hard as I can next season.
