The Hotchkiss rowing program is based on the ethics of hard work and persistence. These are essential for individual improvement, for boats to become crews, and for the squad to operate as a cohesive team. The program drives athletes to move outside of their comfort zones in order to row better, harder, and faster collectively. It’s about embracing the incremental process of marginal gains on a day-to-day basis. And it is about establishing habits of body and mind that support Hotchkiss rowers in achieving success on the water, as Hotchkiss students, and beyond.
