Did you go to the crew camp, and or visit the boathouse?
It's really nice.
Did your son actually get recruited by the coach? I'm planning on rowing heavyweight if I receive an appointment but I was never contacted by the coach. Does the coach have any role in the admissions decision?We visited the boathouse when he attended Summer Sem to meet with the coaches and he spent a lot of time there when he had his recruiting trip. Unbelievably impressive. I'm so excited for what's to come!
Coach said there are alot of "walk on" and "never rowed" that become fantastic crew team members. Don't give it another thought. Positive energy toward a positive outcome!!!!The coach can have influence on certain candidates. There are lots of threads about recruited athletes. If you aren't recruited it won't have an influence. The good news is the crew team has many first time towers on it. The teams start out as very large and slowly dwindle over time. It's a tough sport and time consuming.
Son was recruited for rowing and just accepted his appointment....Anyone rowing for heavyweight men's team????
