Research story #2

Thus far in my search for a story, I was going to do the article on this guy:



But, he's a little inaccessible so again, I'm doing something rowing related (blah).

A repotting story on my coach to be exact. His name is Mike Connors, and word on the street has been that he droped everything to become a coach full time. To the extent of which, I'm not really sure. I've talked to some other people and they have told me that he's been coaching for quite sometime. According to his bio at the Sac State athletic website, he's been coaching for 20 years. While in college, he won most valuable oarsman twice and was inducted into the Santa Clara University Hall of Fame.

He coached at Oakland Strokes (a high school club) for about a year and then moved to coach the UC Davis Men for about four years leaving behind nothing but a good record. Prior to this, he was head coach at Santa Clara University of Women's crew for seven years. He is currently in his fifth season at Sac State.

I've yet to interview him myself, due to how busy we all are, but I should have it done by the end of the week.
