Ontario Tech Varsity Rowing
Rowing is a sport where you are a part of not only a team, but a lifestyle. Being a varsity student athlete is extremely hard work. It is early mornings, it is a large time commitment, you will have to balance rowing, school and your social life (as you cannot row if your grades suffer, and some of your friends may not understand), it has high physical and mental demands, as training is continuous, in-season and off-season.
BUT….
Being a part of the team, making that commitment, you will see what you are truly made of. You will have the opportunity to exceed your perceived potential, to be challenged, to persevere, to meet other exceptional people, and make yourself stronger, better... to be a part of something awesome.
If you are up to the challenge, then the Rowing Team is for you!
