THE SPORT OF ROWING PROVIDES A UNIQUE CONTEXT FOR LEADERSHIP AND SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL SKILL DEVELOPMENT. FOR A BOAT TO MOVE SUCCESSFULLY, TEAMMATES MUST WORK TOGETHER AND SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER AND NO ROWER PLAYS A MORE IMPORTANT ROLE THAN ANOTHER. WHAT'S MORE, ROWING IS NOT AN EASY SPORT TO LEARN OR MASTER, AND THE EFFECTS OF PRACTICE AND TRAINING TEND NOT TO BE EVIDENT UNTIL LATER IN A STUDENT-ATHLETE'S CAREER. THE SPORT, IN EFFECT, TEACHES DELAYED GRATIFICATION, PATIENCE, AND THE VALUE OF HARD WORK. AS STUDENT-ATHLETES IMMERSED THEMSELVES IN ROWING, THEY NOT ONLY BUILT PHYSICAL STRENGTH, BUT ALSO DEVELOPED CONFIDENCE, GREW AS LEADERS AND TEAMMATES, SET AND ACHIEVED GOALS, AND IMPROVED CONCENTRATION AND PERSISTENCETRANSFERABLE SKILLS THAT PROGRAM STAFF REINFORCED AND NURTURED THROUGH ACADEMIC AND ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES.
