"It's weird how random it was when I started rowing. I was asked if I wanted to try the sport and I thought to myself why not? I knew nothing about it. Everything was very chaotic in the beginning that I don't know why I continued. Fast forward three years later, and I can't see my life without rowing. It's one of the only sports that I competed in professionally and won. But more importantly, I found a new family in rowing. It takes a certain type of person to wake up at 5 am and go to practice a sport that is this painful. This experience creates a bond between us that lasts forever. For me, this is what I got out from rowing."
