In this episode we talk with David Herrick, Assistant Coach for the men's lightweight rowing program at the Naval Academy, about the differences in the commitment to Navy versus their peers in men's rowing, what David has learned at his multiple stops as a coach within men's and women's college rowing, and his advice for aspiring college rowers as they broaden their search for schools and identify the right fit for them.

I'd recommend this podcast for athletes who want to learn about life as a student athlete at the Naval Academy, understand the college rowing landscape in both men's and women's rowing, and where to start in the recruiting process as an aspiring college rower.

Right from the start of our conversation you will get an idea of Bart's genuine interest in getting to know athletes beyond just their rowing capacity, and how that has helped him develop a culture of people of high character and "servant leadership". Bart is someone who personifies leadership in every sentence, and learn how that has evolved from his family, faith, being a student of sport and coaches, and how it helps him build trust and get the most out of his athletes.
