Kindle Notes & Highlights
that it’s not just trying or wanting to change. I believe you have to make a choice, you have to decide. I make a choice right there and then that I am done with my old life. I choose rowing. I choose a future. I know it’s easier to say I’ll try than to do it. I haven’t been institutionalized.
leadership is not the position, but the effort you put in.
When you represent something larger than yourself and your career, real change happens. So when we step out into that boat in Grand Rapids, I don’t want people to see a crew team but young men who rowed against the current of life and survived.
