[quote=Anonymous]The time commitment is major: practice four days a week and regattas all day Saturday during the season, and because you have to get to the boathouse there is more transit time than most high school sports, depending on where you live. Lots of cleaning and hauling boats. It helps to be very tall. You have to be the kind of person who enjoys/thrives at doing repetitive actions while facing someone else’s back. My dh and one kid have the right build and mind for it and love it; my other kid and I find erging boring and painful—we are runners and it’s a different mentality, I think. Can’t really articulate beyond that. Be aware that for girls there are genuine recruiting opportunities for college. Lots of girls from our school go into college rowing. For boys, it’s d3 only but I know only one boy who rows in college and it might be club rowing,[/quote]
