Jim Dietz quotes:

Rowing is a sport for dreamers. As long as you put in the work, you can own the dream.

In rowing as in life, there are competitors and there are racers. The competitor works hard and rows to his limit. The racer does not think of limits, only the race.

If you want to know why you didn't make a boat -- I'll tell you. You're just out there hammering the water. You're killing fish, not rowing.
