About Calvin Tarczy
Where did you learn to row and who was your first coach?
Tideway Scullers School, Richard Ratcliffe.
What inspires you about sport?
I love the competitive mindset and the unique way you have to approach training and competition.
Explain your earliest memory of The Boat Race
Watching The Boat Race in St Ives, Huntingdonshire. I thought we were going to watch the row past on the Great Ouse, only to realise we were going to watch on TV.
Do you relish in hours in the gym and miles in the dark, or do you live for race days?
I definitely live for race days.
What's the secret to managing elite-level sport with studying at one of the top universities in the world?
Time management is essential. It is important to plan out your week ahead and stick to your plan.
