York Perform 210

“Give yourself some grace. Your grades and performance right now are a reflection of your illnesses and injuries, yes? Those aren't your fault, they're obstacles outside your control that you have to deal with. That is NOT the same as poor grades and performance because you're not putting in the effort, or hanging around with the wrong crowd. I don't know what your situation is like completely, but it seems like rowing isn't a current path to college for you, unless your already talking to schools/coaches. That doesn't mean you can't go to college though. Clean up your grades as best you can right now, graduate highschool, go to community college, get his grades there, then transfer somewhere else later. If you want to keep training rowing, great, but don't pressure yourself into thinking you have to perform at a certain level. Just row for your own fitness and sell continual small improvements. You'll be surprised how far that will get you.”
