A little Saturday story I'm sharing...
My Son started at university a couple of months ago
He's quite into lifting and has shown interest using the concept 2 rower at the gym
I kept telling him, join the rowing club, they'll love your size, he's 6'5 well built and has naturally huge legs, which isn't the norm with tall kids
So the other day, he says 'there's a post on insta saying the boat crew will be on campus, if anyone interested pop along for some tests'
So I'm like, you've gotta try it out
So he goes along and they test him on a few exercises and the trainer says, these results are above average, can I get your details and I'll pass them to our racing director
So few days later he gets an email from race director saying, can you come down to the boathouse, we want to see you ASAP
So my Son was a little nervous but he went along and they tested him out
The race director said to him, not gonna lie, these results are Olympic level!
I was really proud of him.
Nice. Thank you for sharing this. Hopefully he can find something very fulfilling in rowing. In our area in the Lafayette River, Old Dominion University regularly is training various rowing division participants.
It's nice to see young people pushing each other and the water.

An Olympic-level athlete must always be stimulated. There are few people on the planet with this condition. If he is willing and convinced to go through the rigorous process to reach this level, it will undoubtedly be a great journey. Congratulations to your son and you for encouraging him
