“I came extremely close to walking away just a few months ago,” she revealed to Mail Sport.
“It was exhaustion and just this never-ending question of ‘Am I doing the right thing?’
“It is a question every single mum asks themselves every day: ‘Am I being the best parent I can be?’”
After discussions with team doctors and coaches, Glover made efforts to adapt her training around her kids, to better manage her time.
Often, this includes training late in the evening once her children are in bed.
“The way I run my training is very different, purely through being a mum,” she told The Guardian.
“I’ve got something much bigger and more important that I’m going home to, so I time training around my kids.
“In a practical sense, it’s very different, and my role in the boat is about having that bit of experience now.”
Half of Great Britain’s rowing team will be making their Olympic debut in Paris, meaning her experience is an invaluable asset for Team GB.
And it will be all the more special for Glover, having her children cheering her on.
