So we really had to start with the basics and this year we’ve been able to work from a higher level from the fi rst day.

She’s just consistent and rows well under pressure so that’s another thing that I’m second varsity her fi rst two years and I’ve really seen her turn a corner this year in terms of her fi tness. really looking for from all these athletes.” Also, she is learning how to translate her desire to be great into the discipline that is required to achieve that end.
