Staying Positive

Can you manage your emotions effectively and stay motivated when you face a setback?   

The skill is to  focus on staying calm and continuing to try to achieve your goal. It is also about being able to reflect and think about what went wrong and how to better respond in the future.  

At the beginning of a rowing career, it can be hard and frustrating and the journey of a rower entails many failures and setbacks.   The key is to take the learnings from these situations and turn them into valuable lessons and opportunities to grow. Learning to spread this positivity with those who might be struggling around you is the best lesson taught by sport.
