[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For what it’s worth, I have a college rower and the team is always looking for the next best rowers.  However, the best rowers actually do not come from HS rowing. They usually come from other sports or someone who has the drive to excel.  So if your teen didn’t row, don’t let it discourage them. If your kid doesn’t fit the height stereotype, don’t let them discourage them either.  I’ve seen shorter rowers have more success in a boat than the tallest rower on the team.

[b]College rowing is a different beast than HS.  It takes a certain kind of mental discipline and drive to wake up all four years of college at the crack of dawn before an 8am class to grind it out on an erg. Then do it again in the evening. It is your whole identity in college.   If it sounds like misery to them, don’t push them into it.[/b] [/quote]

This. Right here is why I enjoyed the sport all through high school and was done by college.  Very few of us from my HS team wanted to continue in college! [/quote]
