Interview with Liv the Captain

Interviewer: What's your life's ambition?
Liv: To be a vet

Interviewer: What made you take up rowing and when?
Liv: I took it up about two years ago when I quit hockey coaching. It was something new to try.

Interviewer: Has anything embarrassing happened to you whilst on the river?
Liv: A four I was in managed to capsize just as we were about to come in [to the boathouse] and I ended up standing in about a foot of sewage in the river.

Interviewer: Do you have a rowing icon?
Liv: I haven't ever really considered having a rowing icon before, but I respect Steve Redgrave for all his Olympic achievements.

Interviewer: What would your ideal boat type and position be?
Liv: I like the VIII+ that we have at the moment [now split into two IV's]. As for my ideal seat, it would have to be stroke.

Interviewer: Do you read "Regatta"?
Liv: Does anyone?

Interviewer: What would you like the boat club's mascot to be?
Liv: Wally in his woodsman's hat.

Interviewer: What sort of status do you think rowing has in this college?
Liv: It's still a minority sport, but I think the college is beginning to take it more seriously now.

Interviewer: If you were omnipotent what changes would you make to the boat club?
Liv: If omnipotent also includes an endless supply of cash I'd buy 8 single sculls, our own boathouse and a video camera for Malcolm.

Interviewer: What are your duties as Captain of Boats?
Liv: To organise the squads, communicate between coaches and rowers, find crews for regattas… etc….

Interviewer: How have you changed the way the boat club is run since your tenure began?
Liv: Better communication between coaches and crews and greater efficiency (I hope) at the boathouse (-sometimes!)

Interviewer: What's your claim to fame?
Liv: I'd hate to be famous, so I don't want a claim to fame [bit of a mistake filling out this questionnaire then, Liv!]

Interviewer: What would your ideal man be like?
Liv: Tom Cruise in "Top Gun".
