“WHO YOU ARE AS A PERSON, OUTSIDE OF WHO YOU ARE AS AN ATHLETE, CAN BE EVEN MORE IMPORTANT”

Incredible conversation with Molly Bruggeman, 2024 Olympian and world best time finisher with her teammates in the 4- last month at the 2026 World Championships, and we are diving into her path from her first strokes in Ohio, to D1 rowing, to a decades long journey to compete in her first Olympics in Paris!

Molly (@mobruggie) is a blast to talk to, and brings amazing energy as we discuss…

*Her path to Notre Dame, to being cut from the Olympic team in 2016, an alternate in 2021, and an Olympian in 2024, and now only getting faster in 2026.

*How playing volleyball through high school in the winter, and a focus on strength training in college, helped contribute to her longevity as an elite rower.

*Molly’s superpowers for career resiliency, including hard work and grit, but most importantly, having fun with her teammates and enjoying the process.

Molly’s story is awesome, I absolutely encourage any high school or college rower who is looking to learn how to stay in the fight, while also staying present and having fun, to give this one a listen!
