Welcome to Navy Sports Central - The Official Podcast of the Navy Sports Nation!Today, we are joined by former rower Sean Coughin from the Class of '87. He's is a Navy Sports Hall of Famer, and he provides us with some insightful and very real perspective on the challenges of competing at the international level.
Sean takes us through his early years of rowing and humbly shares both his successes and setbacks. Sean's story is more than just about sports; it's about grit, and the ability to bounce back. Sit back as we discuss the different aspects of rowing, the significance of camaraderie, and the rush of competition.
Finally, we'll get into Sean's post-rowing life, exploring his transition from the Marine Corps to teaching, and his accomplished published work. Join us as Sean Coughlin shares his unique story.
