Why Crew?

Crew is one of the most unique sports in which a young man can participate.  Success in the sport is not predicated on a boy's ability to run fast, jump high, throw a ball fast or far.  His ceiling isn't determined by the innate athleticism, or lack thereof, with which he was born.  Success in the this sport is determined by a boy's dedication to work in order to maximize his potential.

On paper, the sport of rowing should be simple to master.  There are not different plays or positions to learn.  There is neither an offense nor defense to study.  The boy must simply do the same motion over and over and over....  

The mastery of the sport hinges on the boy's dedication to mastering the almost unnatural, but fluid, motion of the rowing stroke.  He must be willing to learn how to coordinate the use of the large muscles of the legs and back with the smaller muscles of the fingers and wrists.  He must be willing to exert his maximal physical effort while trying to learn this motion on the moving and pitching platform that is the rowing shell.  On land, he must push himself through physically and mentally exhausting workouts designed to maximize the strength that can be generated by his frame.

If he is willing to immerse himself in this sport, a boy will be rewarded for the rest of his life. He will be become part of a fraternity of like-minded young men who have found the almost addictive feeling of pushing themselves farther than what they thought was possible even the day before. The bonds formed during the training and the races last a lifetime. The boy will truly learn what his mental, physical and emotional limits are. He will be better prepared to tackle life’s difficulties having been pushed to his limits over and over again through training and racing. The boy will learn dependability and responsibility knowing that the other members of his boat are counting on him to put forth his best effort.

Why crew? Because there is nothing else like it. If you let it take hold of you, it will help you grow into the best version of you.
