Hudson decided to bring on one of the best and most successful coxswains in the history of American Rowing, Mary Whipple!  On this week’s episode on For Stars Podcast, we dive deep into the connection one has with their crew, taking the lessons you learn from crew into your family life and the workforce, but most important, truly loving what the sport has to offer to it’s participants, and fighting for what you want both in sports and ordinary life.  Mary competed in three Olympic Games, winning Gold in 2008 & 2012 in the Women’s Eight, and Silver in 2004 at the Athens games. Winning five world championships (‘02, ‘06, ‘07, ‘10, and ‘11) she cemented herself as a LEGEND.
