Summary
I spent nine years losing before I won anything.
This is what that actually taught me - and why I think it's more useful than the medals.
In this video I talk about the stress fracture five days before Olympic qualification, finding out I'd been dropped from the squad via a phone call from my local newspaper, and the moments I genuinely considered walking away from rowing entirely.
And the three things that nine years of failure taught me that two Olympic gold medals never could.
