Personal Statement
Coxing embodies opportunity. Everything a coxswain does ultimately affects the team. My most memorable races are those in which I feel my presence made a difference. Rowing isn’t just about results. When I get in a boat, I strive to initiate positive change. Knowing I helped a boat or an individual rower to improve is the most rewarding aspect of coxing. I believe in trying to be the best for the team, not the best on the team. I am passionate about rowing because it gives me the opportunity to lift other people up and elevate them toward their aspirations.
