Today I take a refreshing break from our usual masters rowing conversations to chat with Sam Lincoln, a Richmond Rowing Club coxswain and recent recipient of Rowing Victoria's Coxswain of the Year award.

Sam brings a unique perspective to our discussion, straddling both worlds as he is not only a cox but taking on the oar and doing pretty well as a rower. What makes this conversation particularly fascinating is Sam's insightful take on the eternal debate of motivation versus discipline in rowing.

Sams drive and philosophical approach to the sport offers a window into the mindset of rowing's next generation. His perspective on what keeps him showing up day after day, whether in the cox seat or now with an oar in hand, gives us all an insight into what is possible if you stay focused.

Tune in for an engaging discussion that proves wisdom in rowing isn't always about the years you've put in, but the perspective you bring to the sport.
