In this episode we have Charlotte Buck, 2020 and 2024 US Olympian, and we are diving into her career from a “non-athlete” in high school, to a walk-on for the Columbia University women’s rowing program, then to a two time Olympic rower who stroked the Women’s 8+ at the Paris Olympics!

Key Takeaways:

• Charlotte’s Non-Traditional Path - From the high school debate team, to taking a gap year, to walking on without any prior rowing experience, to being cut multiple times, then making the national team.

• Playing the Long Game and Grittiness - The intangible qualities that are important for staying on the path to success through adversity and failing to make the team.

• Thriving in Academic and Athletics - Time management, and how to focus on school and rowing separately to be successful in both.
