You Know You're a Rower When...

hi! i raced for the second time ever yesterday after training extremely hard. eight strokes into the race - after a strong start - my seat came off and there was no way to fix it. i am currently WJ15B, do you think this event will define my rowing career? i love rowing and put in the hours and want to become really good. i feel like i can do it.... but then this happened. should i worry? how should i be feeling regarding this situation? thanks X

How do you deal with nerves when it comes to racing. I tend to get tense and screw up the start

Hi I am a novice rower who just started this fall and wanted to get some advice about coaches. Basically what are the do's and dont's when it come to coaches and how can i get them to put me in a boat? Thanks!

Part 2:I'm 16, 5'4, 115 pounds, decently in shape with really long arms and stronger legs (something I've always prided myself on, though I know they have nothing compared to rower's). If you had any tips for a beginner or any idea of what my 2k time might be if love any help I could get!

What boathouse do you row at? Sorry it might be in your fac but I can't find it. :)

It was my first year rowing this year and our season just finished, I got put in as stroke as the B crew dispute giving it my all to try get into the A's, the reason they didn't put me in A's was because my stroke wasn't long enough, I'm quite tall, 170cm (14,girl) and I was wondering if you thought it's worth me joining club rowing or just waiting until next season to improve?
