selection

Crew selection can be challenging for coaches and athletes because of their emotional ties with others in the program. Athletes are highly stressed and may feel disconnected due to competing against their friends for a seat in the boat. Coaches can be apprehensive about preconceived feelings and expected outcomes of the selection process. Coaches and athletes will often have intuitive feelings based on their knowledge and experience within the athlete group. The athletes must feel the selection process is fair and will result in a crew makeup that reflects the best athletes and will result in the fastest crew.
