“I know you’ve heard this from me before; however, it bears repeating why we train the way we do. We train length and power at low rates during the winter so that come racing season we are able to maintain more power and a longer stroke at race pace.”

“Mike once said in a meeting that a crew is capable of a true all-out 2,000-metre race in the eight only two or three times per year. He said the psychological and physical toll of racing was too intense; if we attempted more, we would risk dulling the sword and backing off subconsciously.”

“Sometimes the only difference between a clumsy fool and a future Olympian is the determination to continue.”

“I think all of us are looking for that which does not admit of bullshit . . . If you tell me you can bench press 450, hell, we'll load up the bar and put you under it.

“Harmony, balance, and rhythm. They’re the three things that stay with you your whole life. Without them civilization is out of whack. And that’s why an oarsman, when he goes out in life, he can fight it, he can handle life. That’s what he gets from rowing.”
