Personal Statement
Hi, I’m Sophia Mitchell. I started rowing in August 2021. I’m in 12th grade at the Academy of the Holy Names and row for the Academy of the Holy Names Rowing Club.
Something I love about rowing is that it has shown me I can quickly improve when I apply myself. Going from being a sophomore novice to a top athlete in my club’s best boats has motivated me to improve even more this upcoming season. During the 2021 fall season, my 6k time dropped from 27:04 to 25:36 in just over a month. This exemplifies not only my innate physical strength but also my mental push to keep improving. I am continuing to work hard this fall season to keep bringing my numbers down, and will keep updating my profile with any new information.
Something that sets me apart from other recruits is my athleticism. I’ve competitively played 10 very different sports, such as hockey, horse riding, golf, and ski racing, amongst others. This shows not only my time management skills but my ability to pick up and improve at new sports. Throughout my various athletic adventures, I have to say that crew has been my favorite because of the impactful lessons it has taught me in one short year.
I hope you’ll be able to consider me for your rowing program! If you have questions or want to know more about me as an athlete, please message me.
