About Jou-Myu Wijnholds
Where did you learn to row and who was your first coach?
Westminster School - CD Riches, Dave Loveday and Josh Butler.
What inspires you about sport?
Hard work is always rewarded, and the ability to make yourself better than yesterday.
Explain your earliest memory of The Boat Race
Hearing a friend talk about how his dad won The Boat Race.
Do you relish in hours in the gym and miles in the dark, or do you live for race days?
I feel like only living for race day is a source of motivation that can easily run out; everyone dreams about winning but I enjoy the process day in day out.
What's the secret to managing elite-level sport with studying at one of the top universities in the world?
Just got to knuckle down and do the work.
