Where has The 9th Seat been?
Bouncing around Anchorage, AK!
Since my last post I, The 9th Seat, have been busy. I started grad school at the University of Washington and am on my way in completing a masters degree in Intercollegiate Athletic Leadership. Which is basically a mouth-full for sports administration for college sports. This is the main reason for taking the summer off from the National Team since the IAL program smooshes one full year of curriculum into 8 weeks. I’ve been in school this past 8 weeks from 9 am to 5 pm. Talk about intense. I’ve met really cool people and love my class size, all 27 of them.

We now move into our internship portion of the program and I’ve secured an internship with the Tyee Club. I’m excited to learn about donor relations and hopefully use my skills that I’m going to learn to help me run my college rowing team one day!
The Poland World Championships are a week away and I’m going to be excited and sad to cheer on my team from Seattle, but a year off is what I needed to help me prepare for 2012.
Look for more coxswain specific content in the coming weeks and more news about upcoming clinics.
Steer Straight!
