2024: The Year I Got Told To QUIT

Hello Yamsquad!
In this episode we look back over the last 12 months, it's been interesting!
This year tested me like no other. From my worst performance at the November trials in 2023 to battling doubt, setbacks, and even being told to walk away from rowing altogether, I faced challenges that made me question everything. But 2024 also became the year of breakthroughs, resilience, and rediscovering my passion for the sport.

In this video, I share the highs and lows of my journey:
🔥 Traveling to Australia for a change of perspective
🔥 Rewriting my training program to play to my strengths
🔥 Achieving personal bests and winning major regattas
🔥 Experimenting with beach sprints and finding new opportunities
🔥 Proving to myself that I wasn’t ready to give up

Through it all, I’ve learned powerful lessons about perseverance, self-belief, and trusting the process. If you’ve ever faced moments where giving up felt like the only option, this is for you.

💬 Let me know your thoughts in the comments – have you ever been told to quit something you loved?
