Speaking from personal experience, while training full-time to be an Olympic rower in the 1970s, I also had to work a full-time job to support myself. One of the glaring difficulties that Olympic hopefuls face, especially from the United States, is that government or corporate funding for athletes is the exception, not the rule. Work-life balance has been, and continues to be, an ongoing challenge for those who want to compete in the Games. To Zoe and others who are putting everything into their quest, I salute you!
