Game Changers: Incredible Stories of Resilience in Sports
University of Virginia Rower - Molly Bidwell S3 Episode 8
This week’s guest, Molly Bidwell , knows exactly what it takes to chase a dream when the road is anything but smooth. Now a collegiate rower for the University of Virginia’s nationally ranked rowing team, Molly has built her success on an unshakable mix of hard work, grit, and determination.
In her freshman year, she helped the Third Varsity Eight bring home the ACC Championship — a testament to the years she spent sharpening her skills with powerhouse programs like Greenwich Crew, Pelham Community Rowing Association, and Row America Rye after graduating from Pelham Memorial High School in New York.
Molly comes from a family of exceptional athletes, but she’s never taken her path for granted. She’s battled anxiety, depression, ADHD, and even a more recent diagnosis of narcolepsy — yet she’s refused to let any challenge define her. Always the underdog, Molly’s story is raw, honest, and a reminder that relentless commitment can take you anywhere.
