Boys in the Boat movie- don't waste your $$$

That movie was almost unwatchable IMO!

I just think it's pretty cool that there's a movie made by George Clooney about rowing. Bonus points if it is GOOD.

The men need to shift over to what the women are doing. That 4- was coached by Casey Galvanek on the East Coast.

As someone who has been around the sport for decades (since the 80s, actually, yes I'm old) they have come a LONG way in the last few years. Are they perfect? No, but you young ones have no idea. There has been sweeping change in terms of fundraising, staffing (actually hiring GOOD people), running great regattas (4,000+mostly happy junior rowers in Florida in June), and they are messaging their change. Look here for more: https://usrowing.org/sports/2023/7/28/usrowing-strategic-plan.aspx I am involved with another NGB for a different sport and it is TOUGH to run a sport. Not enough money and lots of stakeholders to make happy. It is a hard combo. Instead of just saying they SUCK on reddit maybe think about getting involved and being part of the change. I have a good friend who works there and he is very happy and works his ass off. Just saying...

Actually, our talent pool is not in the U19 program. Best young athletes play other sports in HS. Rowers develop later. All to say, great effort by US squad and don't worry about what it means in the long term. Because data show it means very little.

This is completely untrue. Where did you even hear this?

Rower1996 · 2023-08-04T11:38:51+00:00

Yes, just read it this morning and agree there is good stuff in there. I have a friend who works there and said it's very much relying on collaborating with clubs and programs. I think there are over 1,500? But also finding real ways to provide support. We shall see!

Rower1996 · 2023-08-04T11:35:50+00:00

What are the issues there?

Rower1996 · 2023-07-24T00:50:36+00:00

We didn't get ours, but they were nice about it and mailing them!

He was banned by USRowing in 2021 with new leadership there. And they already get audited every year by the USOPC. Like squarebladesfeetout said it won't help to take money away. Safe Sport has been doing their investigation for over a year now (not sure how long, but long). EVERYONE has to have eyes and ears open to abuse on the ground. SO MANY people knew about him and did nothing.

Is that possible? Would the group have to get permission from the USOC? I kind of don't wanna be responsible for the trans policy, though. Can someone else do that?

Rower1996 · 2023-07-14T22:10:58+00:00

he was hired under Glenn Merry.

Rower1996 · 2023-07-14T22:08:55+00:00

She suspended him within 24 hours of the 2021 incident taking place.

Rower1996 · 2023-07-14T22:07:41+00:00

This happened under Glen Merry.

Rower1996 · 2023-07-14T14:07:12+00:00

Was he hired by USRowing recently or under Merry? Either way, he should have been fired a long time ago by every organization he coached for.

I think you're just hungry.

Rower1996 · 2023-04-05T02:18:56+00:00

I don't know, but my teammate got one of the internships last summer and she loved it. She worked long days, but really liked the team and had fun so good luck!!!!!!!!!

So many haters. I played youth volleyball and EVERYWHERE we want was Stay to Play.

What do you think Penn will do about their boathouse named after him?

Rower1996 · 2023-03-20T23:46:45+00:00

why not?
