In this episode, Bryan Volpenhein, 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist and three-time Olympian, dives into the rowing career that went from a walk-on for the Ohio State University Club Rowing Program, to a massively successful Olympic journey, including a gold medal for Team USA in the 2004 Men’s 8+. As one of the most accomplished rowers in Team USA history, you’re going to want to take notes for this one!
Key Takeaways:
