Athletics
As a competitive rower for almost 6 years, I know how to push myself to achieve my goals.
Rowing wasn't just an activity, it was a lifestyle. Early mornings, strict diets, and grueling workouts have taught me that every day is another chance to improve. During the last 3 years in the sport, I was moved to stroke seat of almost every boat I went in. This position is essential as the stroke-person sets the rhythm and technique for the rest of the crew to follow. It is one of the hardest positions, but also one of the most rewarding. The sport was great for me as it allowed me to push my limits, but taught me many lessons in humility.
I am no longer a competitive athlete, so I now use exercise to keep healthy and socialize - although I enjoy a little competition here and there. Some of my proudest athletic achievements are highlighted below:
