For many, missing out on Olympic selection could mark a full stop. But Mike Sweeney cites not making the Mexico 1968 squad as a perfect example of a low leading to a high; within five years he was managing Team GB rowing. You, Boy, The River! charts the career that earned him a CBE; from winning at Henley, representing Cambridge at the Boat Race and Great Britain at European and World Championships, to serving on the World Rowing Council for 14 years and chairing the Regatta for over two decades.
