Riley Watson '23 Recruiting Profile

Since the first day I have been exposed to the sport of rowing, I have discovered a great passion and drive to succeed and win in this sport!  This drive and passion has also helped me with my success not only in rowing races but also in my scholastic studies.  It is my goal to combine both my passion and drive to succeed in men's rowing at the top levels while pursuing and completing a top level education.  In the past year, I have also discovered success by having a self expectation to always work my hardest and strive to be better in all aspects of my life.  No matter what school I decide to go to, I can promise that school hard-work and dedication to their program. I believe that hard-work can get you places that you want to go and can assist significantly in accomplishing life goals.  On the toughest day's when you don't feel your best or you don't have a lot of motivation, I rely on discipline and hard-work to keep working towards my goals.  I truly believe that education is very important.  I strive to achieve and go above and beyond to meet and exceed all standards that describes a student/athlete.  I am striving to graduate post-secondary with a degree and to have high level success in my collegiate rowing career. To all of the schools that read this:  I would like to personally thank you for considering me for your men's rowing program.
