One of you. Just with a gold medal.

I’M CAPTAIN
MEATAXE.

Being a Meataxe doesn’t mean you’re dumb. It means you’re not a natural boat mover.

I know it like the back of my hand. I’m a fucking Meataxe. And somehow, I won Olympic gold.

“Just feel the boat. Find the rhythm.” Great. What the fuck does that actually mean?

This is the stuff I wish someone had told a younger version of me. Lessons from 15 years of rowing, explained in a way we can actually use—so you don’t have to spend a decade figuring it out the hard way.
