About Daniel:

What is your reason for your course choice?

I’ve always enjoyed maths, and a physics degree is a nice balance of understanding a lot of mathematical techniques, whilst also then being able to apply them to real world problems and scenarios.

When, where and why did you start rowing? And what do you love about the sport?

I started coxing at Latymer Upper School in 2018, having gone to watch my brother race at NSR where I saw someone wearing a microphone, bossing everyone around – I thought this would suit me well!

What was your first rowing club and coach?

Kieran Brown at Latymer Upper School

What or who was the earliest sporting inspiration you remember as a child?

My coach Guin Batten at Latymer Upper School.

What sport did you prioritise growing up?

Tennis
