Every-Hall has signalled her desire to win a medal at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics in 2016 following a fifth-placed finish with team-mate Bronwen Watson in the women’s lightweight double scull at the London Games.
But change at the top of Rowing Australia, including the appointment of a new high-performance director, has taken longer than expected after this year’s Olympics and Every-Hall is yet to meet with officials to discuss the road ahead.
The high-performance director must appoint state coaches and there is some urgency as Sydney hosts an International Rowing Regatta in March.
“He’s only really taken over, we’ve known about it since August, since the Olympics, but he’s only been in the role for about a week,” Every-Hall said.
The 34-year-old needs to know what RA expects of her in the next 12 months to decide whether she can fit her sport around her family commitments.
“I’m just keeping fit and keeping my hand in, and we’ll wait and see what happens,” said the dual winner of the bankmecy-backed Bendigo Advertiser-WIN Television Sports of the Year award.
