Timothy Labato '19 Recruiting Profile

I was 12 years old when I first started rowing.  After a month, I jumped into the 9th seat, I suddenly fell in love with being the coxswain.  Taking charge and pushing people to their limits came naturally to me.  At the start of my 8th grade year, I was coxing at the high school level.  By the time I entered 9th grade, I was the head varsity coxing.  With that came a huge responsibility, that forced me to step up my game.  My freshman year, not only did I improve as a coxswain but I learned new techniques to get the most out of my rowers.  The beginning of my sophomore year, my head coach pushed me beyond my own limits as a coxswain.  With this knowledge, I am able to push my crew beyond their limits. 

At the end of my sophomore year, I realized I don't want my time with rowing to end when high school does.  I have a passion and love for this sport. I want to attend a college or university where I can continue doing what I love the most. I am excited to see how far I can push myself as a coxswain.  Being challenged, winning and wanting to be the best is what I strive for.
