In this episode we have Jason Elefant, Assistant Coach for the Princeton University Heavyweight Men’s Rowing Program, and we are diving deep into what it truly takes to row for a top 10 men’s rowing program. Before joining the dominant Princeton Heavyweights coaching staff, Jason’s experience also includes time at perennial Top 10 Syracuse and as a member of University of California’s 2023 National Championship coaching staff. Jason’s perspective on what it takes to compete on these rosters is absolutely must listen!
