[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]... The "rowers are the best athlete" post did make me chuckle, though -- when I was in college the rowers were the big guys who were too uncoordinated to play basketball or football. Maybe they're all hand-eye gods now! :)[/quote] I knew the crew people pretty well ... housemates with one from the varsity boat, and good friends with several others. Top rowers have lots of coordination at specialized motions. In an eight-person boat, all rowers need to be highly synchronized. All the oars need to hit the water at just the right moment, and curl with just the right movement to maximize power and reduce drag. And each rower needs to maintain that perfect form while exhausted. However, I agree with you that many of them are weak at hand-eye coordination in ball games like basketball. I suppose it's because they all spend so much time practicing the other stuff.[/quote]
