A little over 26 weeks away from the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, Hudson sat down with Mike Grady, a 2020 Tokyo Olympian competing on the US National Team.
Grady graduated from Cornell University in 2019, where he rowed under Todd Kennett ‘91, on the Men’s Heavyweight team. The connection that he shares with his teammates is evident when surrounded by each other… brotherhood, as some coin it. Nonetheless, the bonds he has created with the guys that he’s been able to row with along the years, whether that be at Central Catholic, Cornell, the U19, U23, and even Senior National Team, is one to none.
Everyone has their own favorite qualities of crew, but for Mike, it is the opportunity to race. We discuss the overall dynamics of California Rowing Club, coached by Mike Teti, Skip Kielt & Tim McLaren, impact of Justin Best (a pair partner and boatmate of his prior to college), and more! Be sure to tune into this week’s episode, “Gritty Like Grady”!
