ABOUT
OUR
TEAM
Braves Rowing Inc. was established in 1985 and is open to any Boone High School student who wants to row.
-
Rowing is a co-ed sport that combines full-body fitness with a recreational activity.
-
It requires minimum skills to achieve (you can learn to row in an afternoon) yet it will remain a challenge as you continue to improve.
-
People of all ages, sizes, and physical limitations can learn to row and achieve a level of accomplishment that is both physically beneficial and personally rewarding.
-
Athletes from other sports can find a home where they can continue to compete or work out safely. More than one football player, runner, basketball or soccer player has found a happy home in a boat.
Values, Role Models, and the Bigger Picture
Many parents like the fact that rowing strengthens a sense of duty and obligation to the team that is not as fully developed in other activities. An eight-oared crew can only go out if all eight rowers and the coxswain show up on time. Rowing reinforces the value of teamwork over an extended period for a common objective. Rowing teaches the value of deferred gratification and mental toughness. It teaches young people to go beyond self-imposed limits.
Rowing is FUN!
Let’s not over-analyze this. Rowing is fun! Just ask the kids who do it. They do it because it’s fun. They enjoy the sport and each other in a way that defies understanding. Our rowers have a broad range of interests, come from a range of backgrounds and experience, but they all love rowing!
See you on the water!
