This video never gets old. It's always about that inch.

This is stunningly inspiring as applied to rowing. But this idea of the "inches" all around us and right in front of our face, and the idea of being so devoted that you feel willing to die for what you're doing, are really amazing metaphors for something deeper--for life. I think rowers get emotional about this because they understand that. Sometimes when I'm rowing I feel like I'm fighting against my own demons. It makes you better.

Hello. Just wanted to let you know that I started watching this video when I rowed in college in 2013. I continue to use it for motivation in everything I do, 8 years later. Thank you for this video!!!

Brings a tear to my eye everytime I listen to this, such a powerful message that rings so true
-
this is seriously the one of most inspirational speeches ever. wether it be applied to rowing, or any other sport. whatever it's applied to it makes sense. i watch this before every race and it never fails to put me in the mindset of doing whatever it takes to win.

Our coach just showed this to our college rowing team yesterday and I was blown away. I typically love to watch motivational speeches and videos, and this one was truly one the best. Now I can't stop listening to it. =)

Every time the night before a race, and every time I lose one, I watch this video. It gets me psyched for the day after, gets my blood pumping and reminds me why I row. Perfection.

It's the start of the year. It's getting cold. I'm losing motivation, I'm most certainly am not gonna be in the number one boat. I search for inspiration. And in that speech, I find all the inspiration I need. Now, my blood is circulating for one reason: rowing. To achieve those goals we all dream of, but never think we'll reach. I have honestly never gotten goosebumps by watching a video. Up till now.

Thanks for making this video Kevin, it's really powerful. And if you ever read this, I thought I might let you know, you're a wonderful coach. All I ever want to do is make you proud. I give my 100% Again, thanks for your patience and support everyday. Your kind words never go unnoticed and always brighten my day and motivate me. Thankyou.

one of the best videos on youtube.. truly explains the sport itself and its philosophy

I just had an oargasm

So many people underestimate how tough rowing is. When people say they are "tired" we are more tired, when people say they have really "hurt" during sport they haven't really hurt. Haha rowing brings a new meaning to those words.
-
this video gets me up every morning and on the water, I just love it.
