Thanks so much to Bianca for being an incredible guest and for offering a look into what it's like to be a coxswain! In this episode, we cover some of unique challenges that coxswains face, developing your style as a coxswain, how coxswains work with coaches, and communication between coxswains and rowers. We also talk about Bianca's brief time as a rower and the ejector crab that changed the trajectory of her athletic career.

In this episode, I interview Sydney, who's been on the team since 2018 and is one of our co-captains. We talk about the responsibilities of being a captain, coaching, managing injuries, and reflect on a love/hate (but mostly love) relationship with the sport of rowing.

In this episode, I interview Kaelin, who is one of my teammates on the UCSD rowing team. We talk about serendipitous story of how we first met, how she got into rowing, her (not so secret) key to preventing injuries, and reflect on the music festivals we've missed because of regattas.
