About Felix Crabtree
Where did you learn to row and who was your first coach?
King Edward VI School - Andrew Pengilley, Bill Sullivan and Helen Smith.
What inspires you about sport?
Sport gives me a constant sense of self-improvement. Showing up each day and giving my best makes me continually improve, and that cycle of progress leaks motivation and discipline into other aspects of my life.
Explain your earliest memory of The Boat Race
Watching The Boat Race 2012 at my grandparents house and seeing the swimmer in the water.
What's the secret to managing elite-level sport with studying at one of the top universities in the world?
Surround yourself by the best people in both worlds. There a lot of very inspiring people in Oxford, and having people to look up to in both sport and my studies is hugely motivating.
