It\u2019s not the most common sport, but I was fortunate enough to be on my high school\u2019s rowing team from middle school until I graduated. Rowing is a wonderful sport, but it\u2019s not for everybody.<\/p>\n
If you think about it, almost all of us grow up running, jumping, throwing, catching, climbing, grappling, riding bikes, and swimming. Almost none of us grows up trying to pull on massive oars in unison with three or seven other people.<\/p>\n
In fact, the mechanics of rowing are so unique that I like to joke that rowing is the \u201cnon-athlete\u2019s sport.\u201d As a rowing coach now, I don\u2019t know how many young rowers I\u2019ve seen who are totally uncoordinated and uninterested in conventional sports but who \u201cfind their niche\u201d in the strange, backward-facing sport of rowing.<\/p>\n
So, while it\u2019s a thing of beauty to see a young \u201ccrew\u201d come together over a season and start to move the boat instead of just thrash at the water, rowing is so delicate that a single missed stroke can throw everyone else off.<\/p>\n
When errors like that happen in the last few hundred meters of a race, there\u2019s usually no recovering.<\/p>\n
Like a piece of yarn caught on a kitten\u2019s claw, the whole thing starts to unravel.<\/p>\n
And once the boat becomes frantic, everyone else starts making \u201cunforced errors,\u201d sometimes which are bad enough to literally sink the boat.<\/p>\n
Pardon my nostalgia for rowing but there\u2019s a serious point I\u2019m making: many things in life are just as complex and delicate as rowing. Once those things, whether good or evil, start to unravel at the worst times, there\u2019s usually no coming back from it. Once a young man and a woman fall in love, there\u2019s almost no keeping them apart; yet, once the seed of distrust is planted in their marriage years later, it\u2019s almost impossible to nurse it back to health.<\/p>\n
More to the point, once a good detective catches a suspect in one false claim, he starts to find more and more clues until the whole plot gets exposed. The wrongdoers start making unforced errors. Start drawing attention to themselves. And then something comes to light that sinks the whole boat.<\/p>\n
