My name is Alexander Knutsson, I have been rowing for two years and my love for the sport is ever-growing. I've always loved the competition against other teams and races that pushed me past what I thought my limit was. My goal is to contribute to my team’s success and to be a person they can put their trust in. My view of life sets me apart from others, which is competing against my past self and not always against others. Each day I strive to be a better person than I last was in any way I can. This can be in school where I do better on a test than my last one. Or a workout, at practice, to be faster than my previous splits. Even as a teammate, supporting my peers by being an improved person to them.
