Elite Program
Our Elite Rowing and Kayaking Program was created for those who want to compete in either rowing or kayaking events posted on our events page.
The local, regional or national tournaments or regattas as they are often called are primarily designed for competitive rowers who want to take this sport to another level. They want the thrill of competition and are likely wanting to improve on gains that they have achieved throughout the training year. They also want to test themselves just to see how they would do against other competitors or against themselves. They also want to be respected by their peers in the sport and may want to be recognized as one who knows and appreciates this sport.
The highly motivated athletes usually are self-starters, meaning that no one needs to tell them what to do and when. They are all self-motivated and are totally focused and “results oriented” individuals. They are likely perfectionists and are never completely satisfied with where they’re at in their training; always seeking to improve and getting better and better. It never ends for them. Most of the very top athletes retire from their sport (at least the smart ones) once they have peeked to the top. The saying goes, “it’s better to get out while you’re at the top then to slowly burn-out or fail.” People remember winners but not failures.
At Maritime Rowing Club, we offer an Elite Program for those who are serious about the sport of competitive rowing. The candidate who decides to sign-up for this program after they have successfully graduated from the Learn to Row program offered at one of our partnering clubs will be matched to their desired boathouse club facility where they will be given the opportunity to train weekly several times. There is a club membership fee if you choose to enroll full-time in the Elite rowing program.
If you think you have what it takes and are seeking to challenge yourself, then this is the program for you. Let one of your coaches know and we will work with you to get you into this highly competitive program. Click here to register.
