About Katie Doig
Where did you learn to row and who was your first coach?
Pembroke College, Simon Kerswell Jensen.
What inspires you about sport?
The adversity of sport - sport encourages individuals to put themselves in situations where they may be uncomfortable or in pain, and if you get through it you come out the other side a stronger person.
Explain your earliest memory of The Boat Race
I didnt realise it was a thing until this year, my college rowing team put it on the TV during a rowing training camp and I was hooked on the idea since then.
Do you relish in hours in the gym and miles in the dark, or do you live for race days?
I’m here for all of it.
What's the secret to managing elite-level sport with studying at one of the top universities in the world?
Surrounding yourself with people who are smarter, better and more experienced than you. I’ve learned a lot from these kinds of people and have a good support base that I can utilise when I need it.
