[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] There are enough people who love and promote the sport for lifelong fitness, the relationship to the water, the ability to be part of a team in perfect sync and the friendships that grow from the time together that it takes to achieve that state. [/quote] I respect your opinion and admire that you can wax poetic based on your experience and memories, but imo it is an awful sport. This thread reeks of striver parents searching for an athletic hook for their tall and potentially goofy/unathletic kids. Let your kids play volleyball or soccer for the luv of god - let them have some fun. signed, former goofy ivy rower [/quote] Why do you assume rowing is less fun?[/quote] It’s brutal. My kid rowed all 4 yrs of undergrad. Had to get up at 5 every morning & practice 6-8 am. Often in nasty weather. The team cohesion & mutual support that stem from shared sacrifice & agony are what keep most kids from quitting.[/quote]
