Stanford University ’13
Stanford prides itself on its strong academic and athletic culture. Rowing at Stanford lets me participate in
“
both these cultures and allows me to take full advantage of my college experience. Although the time commitment is large, it adds structure, productivity and a huge stress release to my academics and day-today college life. Though it sounds like a cliché, the most valuable part of rowing at Stanford is the team culture and environment we collectively create. Our team prides itself on being small compared to other DI rowing programs. Our small team holds each member accountable for success and facilitates the building of life-long relationships by pushing each other hard early every morning and every afternoon toward the same goal. Because we, along with all other collegiate rowing programs, spend an incredible amount of time training compared to the time racing, it would be irrational for anyone to row for only the enjoyment of racing and not also for the enjoyment of day-to-day practices.

Bates College ’14
When I was looking at Bates, the potential of being part of this rapidly improving program was attractive to me. Over the last two years, the work ethic in the off-season has been characterized by a combination of hard work and the desire to win. That mentality carries over to the water once the season begins and pays off as we improve throughout the season, right up until championship racing. It’s very cool to watch this program grow into a powerhouse, and being a central part of that makes it all the better. Last year was the best ever for the Bates men. This year is looking even more positive. It really is amazing what can be accomplished with the right mentality and leadership.
