Message from the President
It is a great honor to be chosen by your peers to lead. That honor is magnified when you are given the opportunity to lead such a historic club as the CUBC. It is not a position that I take lightly.
This year we have a group of guys that are notably self motivated. From the first erg test through the grueling first two week camp, there have been new oarsmen stepping up and senior members pushing the standards higher than ever before. My job is made easier by those senior members of the Blue Boat and Goldie who understand that my role as president does not absolve them of their duty to be leaders themselves.
Many great strides were taken last year, notably with the introduction of our head coach Chris Nilsson. This year we bring Edouard Blanc on board from Switzerland as the assistant coach. His enthusiasm for the job shows in everything from how demanding our core sessions are to how clean our boat shed is, as well as perfectly complimenting Chris' role as chief coach.
Our club is dedicated to winning, and my Presidency will be judged solely on that criterion. I understand my job is to win the Boat Race on April 3 and nothing will get in my way.
Deaglan McEachern,
President CUBC, 2009-10
