William Hirsch '20 Recruiting Profile

As a student and a rower I aspire to be the greatest I can possibly be. I believe this is evident in my erg scores and transcript. As a rower with less natural talent, I have learned to build my mental toughness to compensate for what I lack in height and weight through rigorous workouts and test pieces. Being a part of a rowing program that is designed to compete with programs larger and more talented has motivated me to consitantly set personal records with no intent of slowing down. One thing that sets me apart from other rowers is my competitive spirit both on the water and on the erg. I am in constant competition with our teams top three juniors and they push me to do better than my absolute best.
