Success in my apprenticeship is equally important to success in my rowing aspirations. I know I can’t be a high performance rower my whole life, so it is of utmost importance that I study at the same time and get a qualification that I can use when rowing is finished.

Apprentice wages are minimal, so having financial support to go towards my education would be a great help and provide some financial relief. If I lead by example, I can show others that it is possible to train and compete whilst also getting a qualification.
