Ready Set Row® is built of strong rowers - coaches, mentors and guest speakers - who build your internal capacity so that you can tolerate distress, manage performance anxiety and step forward bravely in the face of fear.
We prioritize leadership and mental-skills training such that athletes not only develop as faster rowers, but more importantly, they grow in their overall capacity to meet life's challenges. RSR athletes are empowered with new confidence, self awareness, resilience, and courage.
Our mission at RSR is to build strong, brave and resilient athletes through the sport of rowing.
ANd we also like to make boats go fast!
RSR Elite Boys 2024 (in our first year) finished third in boy team points!
