After a rowing coach asked me to try the sport I contemplated his proposition for a couple of days and decided to step out of my comfort zone and try something new. I had no idea, at the time, that this decision would have such a significant influence on my life path." (olympics.nbcsports.com, 16 Oct 2015; meghanmusnicki.com, 01 Jan 2018)

RETIREMENT AND RETURN
She retired from competitive rowing after the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro to work as a personal trainer and motivational speaker. In May 2019 she returned to the national team at a World Cup event in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, with hopes of competing at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. "I knew I needed a break from rowing from a mental perspective, and also from a personal perspective. I needed to figure out who I was outside of the sport. It was nice being away for two-and-a-half years and I enjoyed the break, but I was looking to come back since 2018."
