About Seren Ford

Where did you learn to row and who was your first coach?

The Queen's College, Oxford - Jack Doble.

What inspires you about sport?

By choosing to push myself with rowing and developing the resilience to endure both physically and mentally demanding situations, I have gained a lot more confidence in my own strength to overcome challenges in other areas of life. I love that rowing is a team sport, and it’s so exciting to train alongside strong women with the same goals.

What's the secret to managing elite-level sport with studying at one of the top universities in the world?

Time-blocking my calendar and a detailed to-do list enable me to get all my lab work and training done, alongside having time to knit and see friends!
