Sara Hendershot played many sports growing up and tried rowing at Simsbury High School, where she was immediately hooked. She was recruited to row at Princeton University where her collegiate career peaked during her senior season when she was named Captain of the team, rowed an undefeated dual season, a 3rd place finish at NCAAs, and was named First Team All-America. Upon graduation, Sara turned down an offer on Wall Street to continue rowing at the elite level.
Fourth place finish in the 2012 Olympic Games in the Women’s Pair. Following London, Sara committed to training for another Olympic Cycle, but unfortunately was plagued with injury for almost two years.
After recovering from injury, Sara shifted focus to staying competitive while helping others succeed at rowing, and she currently runs an elite rowing coaching program with her husband called Rowfficient in Boston. She is also a Senior Account Manager at SMACK! Media.

How to Get Things Done – Julie Ireland

So stoked on this episode! Organization is a huge passion for Molly, and she has been completely obsessed since she waswas a little kid with streamlining every aspect of life. It is hard to fit training in. We know that from talking to athletes at our talks, from Peter’s coaching clients and from trying to do it all ourselves!
Here on the Consummate Athlete we want to get good at multiple sports but it is hard to balance training for one sport let alone a bunch, especially with all of the other responsibilities and of tasks that need to be done. But health, fitness, fun and adventure can and should be a priority, and today we’re talking about how to bring that concept to life in a real, tangible way.
Molly did an article with today’s guest about sneaking in a morning workout recently and knew she would be perfect for the podcast. Today she speaks to us about fitness and becoming the consummate athlete as a busy person.
So, generally, I’m hoping you’d be up for doing an episode with us on how busy people can prioritize fitness, and develop good habits around exercise (as per the GTD method!).
