About Kurtis Roethlisberger
Where did you learn to row and who was your first coach?
Saint Louis Rowing Club, USA - Khurram Naveed.
What inspires you about sport?
What inspires me about rowing is the way it constantly pushes both physical and mental limits while demanding tremendous trust in teammates. Every stroke tests discipline, focus and confidence in one’s crew. The grueling preparation for a single race, requiring countless hours of effort, forges bonds among teammates unlike anything else I have experienced.
Do you relish in hours in the gym and miles in the dark, or do you live for race days?
Hours in the gym and miles in the dark. This is where bonds among crewmates are forged and where you learn to redefine your physical and mental limits.
What's the secret to managing elite-level sport with studying at one of the top universities in the world?
A passion for success in all endeavors with an incredible support system of family, teammates and friends. It is an endless cycle of trial and error that is never perfect.
