Introducing our 2019-2020 B1 coaches!
·
·
Co-Head Coach: Catherine Ma
·
·
Q: How did you first get involved with B1, and what are you learning and taking away from from B1?
A: In the summer between high school and college, I was looking for something to do with all the newfound free time. I don’t remember much about my first paddling practice, but I was thrilled when asked to drum for B1 at the Boston Festival. Race calling at a boat full of seasoned paddlers was a lot of fun! Discovering paddling at the end of the season and winning the Malden race sparked my competitive drive. In the same year, I tried out for the USA national U24 women’s team. And miraculously, I made the cut. Since then, I’ve had opportunities to compete around the world with talented athletes. Thinking back, I had tough and ambitious coaches who were willing to explore my athletic potential and to push my limit. These coaches and teammates became my closest friends. I enjoy both the social and competitive aspects of the B1 family, and I am privileged to mentor athletes and share my experiences.
·
·
Q: What is your favorite B1 memory?
A: Too many! Will probably never forget 2017 Mercer 2k… when Andy calls a "rocket power 5" every time he exhales in the last 500m leg.
·
·
Q: Tell us more about yourself!
A: My favorite ice cream flavor is pistachio. I studied neuroscience. I fenced and threw discus in high school. Can finish a whole Domino's medium pizza in one sitting.

Co-Head Coach: Lily Ting
Lily started dragon boating in 2009 and began coaching in 2011. With former coaches Andy Shih and Vince Yao, Lily co-Founded Boston 1 in the winter 2013. · ·

Q: Tell us about your experience on B1 as a coach.
A: I enjoy coaching a whole range of paddlers: from teaching technique to new paddlers to steering high-stakes competitive boats in international events. My greatest pleasure in coaching is to see dragon boat bring out the best in our paddlers: whether it’s breaking through physical boundaries or self growth and improvement.
· ·

Q: What advice and tips would you give to beginner paddlers?
A: Be kind to yourself, while relentlessly pursuing progress.
· ·

Q: Tell us more about yourself!
A: I’m an Aussie, I’m a cat lady but also love all animals. I am a scientist. My ideal vacation is a mix of exploring and beach sitting in Hawaii, I cycle as my primary means of transport. Halo top ice cream is a staple in my freezer.

Introducing our 2019-2020 Board of Directors!
Operations Director: Sam Bell · ·

Q: How did you get involved with B1?
A: A friend of mine insisted that I come out to practice in August 2015, even though it sounded pretty boring to me, and then I fell in love with it and the rest is history. I spent my entire childhood playing team sports and didn't realize how much I missed them until I came out to my first B1 practice. ·
·
Q: What is your favorite B1 memory?
Our trip down to Puerto Rico for the Pan-American Club Crew Championship in spring 2017. ·
·

Q: What are you taking away from B1?
A: B1 has brought that sense of community, competition, and shared drive that I enjoy so much back in to my life. ·
