[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course why do you think parents sign their kids up for rowing and fencing [/quote] I did crew because I couldn't do anything else (hadn't played sports before high school). Did I know kids who went on to row at top academic schools? Yes. Did my parents have any idea that Ivy recruiting for crew was a thing? No.[/quote] I rowed in high school because I enjoyed it. I had no desire to continue in college. My daughter currently thinks she wants to play in college for a different sport. She has no chance at D1 but maybe D3. It’s still too early to know. We aren’t hoping this is a hook for admission. She’s spent years in this sport and has loved it. In a couple of years, she might find out that playing recreationally is her only option anyway. That might just be okay with everything else going on in college. [/quote]
