Episode 8 - Lessons from Boys in the Boat

Weber State cross country and track coach Corbin Talley returns to discuss what we learned reading this incredible book. We share the quotes that moved us, the lessons we took from the gut-wrenching story of the University of Washington rowing team’s journey to representing the U.S. in the 1936 Olympic Games. The book weaves world history, athletic challenges and personal struggles in way that is both poetic and riveting. It is a story that underscores why even the toughest and most talented individuals need a team. We loved it, and Coach Talley shares personal stories and favorite passages with us.
