Anna Coppola '25 Recruiting Profile

Coaches, 

I am a dedicated student rowing athlete, training and competing all year long.  I train 6 days a week because I love the sport of rowing, and committed to learning and improving in order to beat the competition. 

Competing in the rowing world where most teams and athletes are bigger than me and weigh more is a great challenge. My coach Vinny Huston since freshman year in High School would always remind me to "Beat bigger people", and that is something that I live by now. Just because another athlete is bigger than I am, doesn't mean they have the advantage. It's about who can move a boat better. It's about who wants it more. "It's not about the size of the dog, it's about the size of the FIGHT in the dog". 

I continue to compete and win versus so many other crews/boats that have other athletes with 30+ pounds on me in all categories. (4x and 2x and 1x).

Looking forward to hearing from you and bringing my fight to your team.
