Episode Description

Welcome everyone to another episode of the For Stars Podcast, where today we hear from Southern California rower, 10-Time US National Team Member, and well-known sports filmmaker, Nick Trojan. We talk about his impact on Long Beach Junior Crew, the United States National Team, rowing at seven World Championships, and even spending a year rowing with Orange Coast College (the only junior college in America to have a competitive rowing team). Nick has always loved visual arts, even dating back to high school, so when he decided to take sports filmmaking to the next level, passion took over... and now paving the way for making rowing and the people involved more visible to the world. He currently has three documentaries available to the public featuring teams such as Harvard & Yale Heavies, as well as Cal Men's Rowing, with more in the books! Some of the documentaries he was working on, would have had an average joe quit and move on to something else, but Nick stuck with it and kept chasing his goal to put out superior work.

The lessons that Nick learned at Long Beach Junior Crew was monumental, and in his words, "saved his life"... being taught foundations such as structure, commitment, and setting standards for himself in order to be elite. Rowing lightweight in high school and on the US National Team, Nick dabbled rowing heavyweight when it was available to him. We talk about the absence of lightweight rowing, meaning behind his nickname, living with host families, rowing at OCC instead of a four-year university, the simplicity of rowing, along with other subjects and future projects, so tune into this "Bucket of Bliss"!
