“Miserably failing in trying to make the junior national rowing team two years in a row in high school fueled my motivation to train harder and smarter for way more competitive U23 trials and succeed in making the team in my first 2 years of senior B eligibility. I’m currently training for 3rd consecutive under 23 world championships, and using last year’s close 4th place finish as motivation to get even better.” – Vlad Timinsky, Canadian U23 light weight rower on how failure fueled him to success.
