Spencer comes from a family with deep rowing history. Spencer's Grandfather was a rowing coach, Spencer's father was a rowing coach, and it only makes sense that Spencer became a rowing coach. Spencer started his rowing career taking naps in his dads launch while he coached, then went on to a great career at Princeton and is now the head coach at Deerfield Academy, where he coaches with one of his brothers. You could say that Spencer was born to be a rowing coach!

2022e29 - Rowers Choice Podcast + Fr. Mark Connell - San Miguel

This was not the podcast we expected when we started. Father Mark Connell got his first taste of rowing in high school, but wasn't in the sport long. After he understood that God has some other plans for him, he became a priest and ultimately ended up at San Miguel Academy. Nearly 48 years later, Fr. Mark is changing the sport and the lives of kids at San Miguel Academy. Please take 5 minutes to support this program! https://newburghsanmiguel.org/programs/san-miguel-rowing/
