As a team, we commit to being patient with the process of developing a program, adapting our checkpoints and goals to meet athletes where they are. At the core of Hotchkiss Rowing is the belief that if you are willing to work hard, rowing will accept you. We strive to compete and better ourselves daily, while maintaining respect for our teammates on and off the water. We look to John Wooden’s definition of success: “Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.” Ultimately, we seek to develop an appreciation for the sport of rowing in each of our athletes, giving them the tools to be successful rowers and people here at Hotchkiss and beyond.
