I am new to rowing, with my first time on the water and an erg occurring in the summer of 2020. I have always been a successful multi-sport athlete, playing volleyball, track, and soccer until schedules necessitated that I specialize. My family relocated from Virginia to Indiana right before my junior year and it altered what had been my sports seasons, so the opportunity to row presented itself.
I just participated in my first regatta in Sarasota (Feb 2020) and my boat won a Silver medal. All the skills developed playing multi-sports with multiple coaches have helped me develop into the athlete I am today. I’m introspective, calm under pressure, versatile, I lead by example, am a team player, coachable, a great listener and although I am cautious, I am willing to take risks and I am adventurous.
