About Stephanie Connell
Where did you learn to row and who was your first coach?
Somerville College Boat Club - Carole Wright.
What inspires you about sport?
I’m inspired by how sport unites people across different backgrounds and builds lifelong friendships, it creates a sense of belonging, where people support and uplift each other to do the best they can individually and as a team.
Do you relish in hours in the gym and miles in the dark, or do you live for race days?
I enjoy a mixture of both but race days definitely have that extra buzz and excitement which make the hard work feel really rewarding.
What's the secret to managing elite-level sport with studying at one of the top universities in the world?
I'm still figuring that one out, I just try to stay organised and take things one step at a time!
