Kate Hebdon
Hebdon Hammers Director of Rowing, Head Masters Coach
Olympia, WA
I started my rowing career at Belmont Rowing Center in my late 20s by being placed into the coxswain seat not knowing bow from stern nor port from starboard. I even counted to 11. In only 6 years, I've moved around a lot: 2 years coxing to learning how to sweep (1 year), (poorly) teaching myself how to scull (I've gotten better over 3 years with some stellar coaches), to coaching (2 years), to running my former small club. Started as the Director of Rowing at Olympia Area Rowing in August and it's been a whirlwind ever since. These days, I get to row once in a while, but hopefully C2's Holiday Challenge will get me back on the right track!
So I'm new on the block and eager to improve and learn more. A graphic designer by trade with a heavy dose of project management, I'm very happy to listen and learn from those more experienced/knowledgeable than myself.
