All eight, sit ready… ROW! A call you may hear from one in the 9th seat. Hudson decided to bring on one of the best and most successful coxswains in the history of American Rowing, Mary Whipple!
On this week’s episode on For Stars Podcast, we dive deep into the connection one has with their crew, taking the lessons you learn from crew into your family life and the workforce, but most important, truly loving what the sport has to offer to it’s participants, and fighting for what you want both in sports and ordinary life.
Mary competed in three Olympic Games, winning Gold in 2008 & 2012 in the Women’s Eight, and Silver in 2004 at the Athens games. Winning five world championships (‘02, ‘06, ‘07, ‘10, and ‘11) she cemented herself as a LEGEND. A Sacramento Native, Mary coxed with her twin sister, Sarah, at Capital Crew up until college where she joined the University of Washington Women’s Rowing Team, winning a National Title in 1999, 2000, and 2001, as well as a victory from the prestigious Henley Royal Regatta in the year 2000.
Mary has stepped into the role as a Sports Broadcaster, announcing over several NCAA Women’s Rowing Championships, and being the founder of the “9th Seat” an organization set on giving young coxswains a chance to learn how to improve one’s skills in the saddle through knowledge and confidence.
