TRUST
by Chris Manibusan
Rowing is a sport of trust. It requires you to trust in your training, teammates and coaches.
Doubt, hesitation, and fear can fracture that trust and cause hopes of victory to slip away. At the moment when the pain sets in, and it will, you must trust that you have been properly prepared for what you and your team want to achieve. Trust that the person in front of you and the person behind you are giving it their all.
Know that victories aren't a certainty. Nor is there any "luck" involved in winning. Victories are earned. They are earned with every ounce of sweat, drop of blood, lunge, hill, erg, mile, day, hour, minute, and second that you work.
This is what rowing is about. It is THIS hard work that separates victory from defeat. It is what separates us from them. It is the difference between being ahead or behind when the flag drops. The question is where do you want to be?
