Two videos with a total viewing time of 00:09:17. 1 of 2: 1016 MX; 00.08Values: not to give up, to keep the overall picture of what you want to achieve and just to see the big picture and really work towards that, even if there's something to kick you back you just keep trying and realize what your goal is; the reason why I feel that way is just because of I had stopped when people told me to stop or not believed in myself and my team mates then I would have stopped way before I ever got into a boat or a race 00:55Life lesson: not to give up and to see the value that you can bring to the group 01:52You all have such different personalities, how did that work as a team: it created conflict sometimes, there were 9 of us [referring to the entire women's team]; the four of us respected each other and each other's place, I wish I had gotten to know the other people on the team better looking back at it, at the time it was a way of survival, also we were together for months on end and things come up, if you kept in your own little world things don't bother you 02:45What would you do differently: I would have had more fun, I took it too seriously 03:03What was the mood of the team: just one of confidence and just really wanting to do it; was there pressure: no, because I didn't think we have anything to lose, when Jen got injured and Kay was coming into the boat, it was like we can do anything, with Kay it was a different boat 04:02How special was that team: very special, real honour for myself and other Canadian women that they can do it too 2 of 2; 1016OR; 00:10Were you aware of being the first to win Gold: in Barcelona, not really because in '91 we had already won the first women's Gold [referring to the World Championships] 00:31What did you learn from the 4's to the 8's: confidence, really relaxed going into it, we had gotten over the hard part; talks about being a single rower and having it all on the line, that's why I love the 4 because you can hide and do your job and when you are in the 8 you can hide even more and you've got this person screaming at you, telling you what to do, so it's great, lot less pressure 01:40What were the values you brought from 1996: not to give up, talks about the battle and the stroke rate in 1996, had the experience to keep going, don't give up, don't slow down 02:27On being inducted to the CSHoF: never in my wildest dream did I think I would be inducted, a great honour, an unforeseen honour 02:48Introduction to the Hall |
