Secure Your Ideal College Rowing Experience
About
Our mission is to provide clear and transparent guidance for prospective student athletes and their families as they navigate the recruiting process for intercollegiate rowing.
The recruiting journey can be fraught with many challenges, making the process overwhelming.
How do you choose the right academic environment? Is the team culture a good fit? How do you navigate admissions and financial aid. How do you communicate your story effectively to coaches? What do you prioritize and when? These are just a few of the many questions you’ll need to answer along the way.
The recruiting journey is complex and emotional. This is your future and you want to make a choice that is best for you. Having a trusted guide along the way can make all the difference in securing your ideal college rowing experience.
