I had just 1 my dream. It was sure too big at that point to somebody whose 2 not only mattered, but whose emotional support could play a key role. Then I was just 20, and still a(n) 3 athlete. Maybe my dream wasnt based on reality. After all, I had tried out for the national team for the first time the previous year and been _4 . I lacked the height that most Olympic rowers possess, not to 5 much experience as an athlete, and I suffered from asthma, but still, I was shocked by my coachs response. 6_ not just by his choice of words, but by his certainty, I left the gym in a panic. As I walked, I began to rethink my future, making room for my coachs opinion, setting 7_ my dream. A small inner voice had joined forces with the coachs. “Maybe hes 8 .” But then, another voice 9 . “What does he know? Why does he get to decide?” That my own coach didnt have faith in me didnt mean I had to give up on myself so quickly. By the time I arrived back at my apartment, I was 10 my coach. And my 11 was back on center stage.12 came easy when it came to fulfilling that dream. I tried out for two more national teams and two different coaches cut me. But I was driven by my love of the 13 of rowing. I wanted to row 14 the best and I refused to stop until I achieved my goal. I made that 1980 team, 15 not getting to compete at the Olympics.
