Member | UNC Men’s Crew Club

What better time to start something new than in grad school? I began rowing for UNC in January 2021 to enjoy the benefits of team sports, a consistent workout schedule, and comradery for my mental and physical health.

I didn’t expect that I would get along with the team as well as I do when I joined a novice group of 18 year old as a 25 year old. I firmly believe that age is just a number; that you are the only person stopping yourself from starting anything from scratch or that you must have perfected a craft to enjoy it.

I’m proud to say that I’m not that great at rowing, but I’m trying to improve every day. I have fun with this group of guys, I enjoy being mentored by Coach Work, and I feel stronger and more confident in my sport and in my research than just a half year ago.
