By an extraordinary coincidence, we found ourselves trialling for our national Dragon Boat teams - Great Britain and Hong Kong - on the same day! It was C's first national trial, an emotional rollercoaster even before the first test. With the experience of the Senior A trials behind him, A took the onslaught of GB Premier assessments in his stride.In this episode, we share our unfiltered thoughts and emotions before, during, and after the trials. Join us as we navigate the highs and lows of this intense experience. We hope our journey inspires you to embrace an athlete's mindset and find your own path to paddling perfection!
