As much as possible, I want them to enjoy the sport. Like my batch, until the alumni will want to come down and row because its fun. Training should be tough with direction, but enjoyable.

It breaks my heart that the guys may not get that. This is the best, though, all must change. Their last chance. If they cannot do that, then it must be done.

I don't know why I was a bit disappointed at first. This was all part of one of the scenarios. But I suppose I never wanted to think about this one scenario because the end of this equation bears a heavy weight on my heart.

I always believed in saving every single one. Back then, it was hard as hell, but in the end, I finally came to peace with that group. Though, I'm not sure if dog can do it in his case.

If need be, the weed will be cut. There is no need to lose alot. Just one.

Its difficult to teach a slacker how to be a rower. To bring them through hell to show them what they are capable of, so that they will expect more of themselves.

We always fail on our first attempt.

But it is the desire and will to achieve something that makes the difference between those who succeed in the end, and those who never bother.

Perhaps the outcome of the elections will fuel WC to find that drive.

Desire can empower change.
