[quote=Anonymous]My oldest is a freshman in high school, and he is just getting started with crew team. It is a new sport for us.

He has historically played baseball and swam, and dabbled in tennis as well and at one point he wanted to try out for those teams in high school, but ultimately this year did on the boat with crew team for two weeks in the fall, & decided he wanted to do winter conditioning with the crew team and do crew in the spring.  He has enjoyed kayaking generally, so I had always thought he might like crew, but I never took him to do anything with it before high school.

I think some people have a different view on high school sports from me. For example my husband kind of said something like oh it’s kind of sad he’s not gonna be playing baseball anymore.  But I think that’s the way it is when you get to high school.

I think time spent in prior sports is cross training rather than a waste.  I ran D1 and college and I did all kinds of sports as a kid but I didn’t join the track team until high school and frankly I think it was better that way because I wasn’t burnt out.

I think my son is in good shape from other sports, and that all hopefully will theoretically lead to him having success in crew, too.[/quote]
