[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, did they do another sport and didn’t excel or was there something about crew that is special?[/quote] There's a lot about crew that is special. The kids who do well may have the right body type (long and lean), but a little braininess and a cooperative spirit really help. "Boys in the Boat" gets into this a little bit. There are certain kids -- and I'm proud to say that my kid was one of them -- who make every boat better. They're good in different seats, even different sides, because they just put their heads down and get the job done. Some of the brash, brawny kids can't become good rowers because they lack patience or think they can do it all themselves. It gets really interesting when you see these dynamics play out. Plus, you need a sparky, mouthy coxswain! [/quote]
