S4E1: For Lisa Stone and Daughter Gevvie, a Philosophy of Joy
Seattle has the Pococks. Philadelphia has the Kellys. And Boston has the Stones. We’re really excited to kick off season 4 with mother/daughter Olympians Lisa and Gevvie Stone. Lisa was a member of the first U.S. women’s Olympic rowing team in 1976 and went on to a 42-year coaching career. Gevvie was a natural when she took up rowing in high school and was a member of the 2012, 2016 and 2021 U.S. Olympic teams.
[S2] Ep. 4 - Dammie Onafeko: Losing Sight, Finding Vision
After losing his vision to glaucoma and cataracts in his 30s, Dammie Onafeko was introduced to Capital Rowing Club’s adaptive program at the Anacostia Community Boathouse in Washington, D.C. where he quickly found success at regattas, and the support of his rowing family.
Ep. 14: Aisyah Rafa’ee - Obsession, Reality, and Finding the “Why”
In 2016, Aisyah Rafa'ee became the first rower to represent Singapore at the Olympics. She was an athletic and competitive kid, finding her way onto Singapore's national netball team before being handpicked in high school to train in a 2x for the national rowing team. She eventually fell out of love with sculling, retired, and found herself in Boston, rowing sweep with masters women.
Aisyah's honesty about how rough training could be both mentally and physically is humbling, and refreshing. Today she's interested in mental skills and growth mindset, and is pursuing an athletic counseling degree.
Episode 9: Path to the Olympics – Aquil Abdullah and John Olbrys
Aquil Abdullah became the first Black man to represent the United States at an Olympic rowing event when he qualified in the M2x in 2004. We paired him with Olympic hopeful John Olbrys (Potomac Boat Club) who has his sights set on the Tokyo Olympic trials.
