Description

What does it take to transition from a dedicated athlete to a high-performance coach? Kristi is joined by former competitive rower and now coach, Steve Whelpley. After a 19 year career that included three national teams, Steve made a major career transition and is now the head coach of the Craftsbury Green Racing Project. Steve tells us about his journey as an athlete and what inspired him to make the switch. In this powerful conversation, he shares insights he’s learned along the way, like how doubt can be a driving force - a lesson he learned after his parent’s skepticism about his career motivated him to improve.  

Plus, Kristi reveals how she became a professional rower….by accident?? We also hear how she learned to love biking again after a chaotic summer at “cycling camp” when she was a kid, and we ask the very important question: should Kristi get into pickleball?
