RSR Elite Boys (1 of 4 nationally)
Clear commands, efficient steering, race execution, practice management
I am a student-athlete who thrives on technical precision and high-pressure leadership. My background as a middle school sculler gives me a literal 'feel' for the boat, which I use to bridge the gap between the coach's plan and the rowers' execution. I am seeking a college program that matches my drive for both academic excellence and championship-level rowing.
Selected from a national pool to cox the RSR Elite Boys squad in Summer 2026. My focus is on mastering the physiological demands and technical cadence required for high-performance men’s shells to bring a more versatile, authoritative command back to the Women’s Varsity Squad.
I was really proud of how much more aggressive my tone had become since the beginning of camp.
Throughout the race, I used my tone, urgency, and margin calls to keep my boat focused, especially since a lot of my boat had raced multiple times before this event.
This was my first time doing a sprint race in an 8+. Looking ahead, I want to continue working on steering buoyed courses in 8+'s more efficiently.
