join a crew team

I’ve been on crew for a year. I liked it at first, but now I’m really sick of it and want to quit. It’s not maintainable for me; I can’t pull two-hour practices everyday without being miserable. I’ve very unhappy and I think crew definitely plays a part, I even burst into tears at practice the other day after I rolled an ankle running. I told my coach I was just really stressed out. I do have some good friends, but I’m just so tired of crew.

It’s pathetic, but ever since that stupid movie I’ve wanted to do this.

It was one of the most difficult and disciplined sports I’ce ever done and it was the most amazing feeling.

Im a coxswain on my college rowing team and it is quite an amazing experience. although its my senior year, it has really made my college experience.

Joining my high school crew team was THE greatest thing I’ve ever done for myself! I lost weight, gained muscle, gained endurance, learned about how far I REALLY can push my body, and I made great friends in the process. I would recommend ANYONE to go out and join a local crew team. Crew is a great sport; its low impact on the joints and you get a better cardio-vascular workout from it than running. I know that at my boathouse practically every weekend they put on a program for groups of people to give rowing a try. It is a great way to get back in shape if you just quit your running routine, or haven’t stayed in shape since you got out of the service, aor something like that. The feeling of accomplishment isn’t too bad either: my boat took home two second place and two third place ribbons and we made it into semi-finals at the Stotesbury Regatta in Philly, PA, which was a great achievement considering we were a rookie-8 and we were the first boat in the history of my school’s two seasons with a crew team to do so. I could go on forever about how great crew is, but let me just stop here and tell you instead to go out and try crew out for yourself!
