We all have to start somewhere, and in rowing that somewhere is not a pretty place. As a novice rower, you have no concept of good set, good technique or anything good for that matter, and it's common to think you are much better than you actually are. It's all about the learning curve, being coachable, staying positive during those days where the boat just can't get set, and remembering to have a little fun because in the grand scheme of things you're a novice rower and have a long way to go.

And for all of those experienced rowers out there, share your knowledge and be encouraging towards those novice rowers because just remember...at one point you sucked too.
Encouraging laughter from the coach boat.
Awesome!
Novice rowing isn't awesome when you're the novice :) Yeah, I sucked.
