Description

In this episode, Kevin dives deep into three key “truths” high school rowers, and their parents, should understand as they navigate the college rowing recruiting process. These considerations will save time, money, stress, and energy as athletes go about the process with clarity and find the right fit for them.

Key Takeaways:

  • School First - Why rowing alone won’t get you into college, and why identifying your “pillars” is key to success both on and off the water.

  • Division 1 - Why just because you can get recruited D1, why many athletes should not pursue rowing at that level.

  • Program Fit and Culture - The importance of understanding your values, and seeing if there is alignment with the program and head coach.
