always about the team

"Where is the spiritual value of rowing? . . . The losing of self entirely to the cooperative effort of the crew as a whole." - George Yeoman Pocock, from The Boys in the Boat

always inward

"Rowing a race is an art, not a frantic scramble.  It must be rowed with head power as well as hand power.  From the first stroke all thoughts of the other crew must be blocked out.  Your thoughts must be directed to you and your own boat, always positive, never negative." - George Yeoman Pocock, from The Boys in the Boat

Whether rowing or running, whether a race or executing a workout, an inward focus is always needed.

a little timely mamba mentality

"Pain doesn't tell you when you ought to stop.  Pain is the little voice in your head that tries to hold you back because it knows if you continue you will change." - Kobe Bryant

Also, below is the link to the hydration/sodium article we discussed at practice today.  Take a few minutes to go over this important info...
