Thank you, JR.
Did not finance, scraped.
Everything from working in a restaurant as a busboy leading my way up to cook, managing a deli, an ice cream shop, being a mover.
And the hard part, especially when I went into 2012, which was my third Olympics,
was everyone makes this assumption that, oh, you're now a two-time Olympian.
You now have an Olympic medal.
You must be all set.
And that's actually when it was the worst financially.
The 2008 recession had hit.
We had moved the training center out to San Diego, California, which was expensive.
I started doing private security at a hotel.
So I was a bouncer.
And that was when it got really rough because I would go from training three times a day, teaching a class at the gym, and then sitting there breaking up fights till 4 a.m.
Absolutely.
Every cycle I went into debt, we were responsible for all of our own food when training at the training center.
And rowers, we eat a lot.
We're all big.
It's a very high caloric demand.
Anywhere from, depending on what your own metabolic rate is, you could be eating 6,000 to 10,000 calories a day.
And if you're trying to win the Olympics, you don't want to just necessarily do it with Doritos and slushies.
