Row in College

A Recruit­ing Guide For Female Student-​​Athletes

Learn how to get recruited to row in college

Overview

Row in Col­lege — A Recruit­ing Guide for Female Student-​​Athletes is a fully com­pre­hen­sive guide to the women’s col­lege row­ing recruit­ing process. It con­tains most of what you’ll need to know and the actions you will need to take to be suc­cess­fully recruited to row in college.

The Row in Col­lege eBook com­prises many sec­tions cov­er­ing every­thing from defin­ing what you want to get out of your col­lege expe­ri­ence, select­ing a col­lege that meets your cri­te­ria, mar­ket­ing your­self to coaches through to clos­ing the deal with the col­lege that will pro­vide you with the best pos­si­ble aca­d­e­mic, ath­letic and per­sonal experience.

Among other things, you will learn to:

• Should you stay close to home or should you head out of state?

• Find the right row­ing pro­gram — Is this team and its coach a good fit for you?

• Make the best use of your high school coach to help you in the recruit­ing process.

• Posi­tion your aca­d­e­mics and your ath­letic skills for suc­cess — the cor­rect course-​​load, tim­ing of tests, the impor­tance of good grades.

• The impor­tance of good row­ing and erg performances.

Who is this book writ­ten for?

Book details

The author has been coach­ing row­ing for over 20 years, and dur­ing the past 10 years as head coach of two nationally-​​ranked junior pro­grams he has suc­cess­fully helped hun­dreds of high school row­ers and their par­ents through the col­lege recruit­ing process. He has actu­ally coached many col­lege coaches and recruiters and has strong rela­tion­ships with most of them, so he knows what they are look­ing for when recruit­ing high school ath­letes. He recently helped develop a col­lege row­ing recruit­ing con­sul­tancy ser­vice and he is cur­rently devel­op­ing an after-​​school high-​​performance train­ing cen­ter that is specif­i­cally geared towards help­ing high school ath­letes get recruited to row at col­lege.

The main rea­son for writ­ing this book is to help the many stu­dents and par­ents who need to get started and who have very lit­tle knowl­edge on how to pro­ceed. We believe that after read­ing this eBook you will have a bet­ter under­stand­ing of the col­lege recruit­ment process and we hope that it will help you make bet­ter deci­sions. We can­not guar­an­tee that you will be recruited or that you will receive an ath­letic schol­ar­ship, but you will be bet­ter pre­pared and you will know more about the process. This book is intended to explain the choices you have, how to research col­leges and row­ing pro­grams, and it will show you the impor­tance of mar­ket­ing your­self effectively.
