In this episode, Nate Clark, Assistant Coach for the Trinity College Men’s Rowing Program, returns for round 2 on the podcast to share the experience of Trinity winning the 2025 Varsity 8+ National Championship, what it took to get there, and the process for retooling for a repeat in 2026!

Key Takeaways:

• Winning an IRA Championship - The experience of winning a championship in the V8, but not being content, and immediately shifting focus to the next season.

• Competitive D3 Rowing - What it takes to win a D3 championship, and the process-oriented, and present-focused mindsets, required to actually win.

• Rebuilding to Repeat - Recruiting the next class of athletes who want to “build” rather than “join” a national champion contender.
