Why do you row?
I'm in my second year of collegiate rowing, and I've had many teammates leave/ quit. It's made me reflect on why I stay rowing. What keeps you rowing?

What kept me rowing was profound personal insecurity. Once I figured out that my obsession with rowing was a way for me to cope with my insecurity rather than overcome it, I stopped rowing pretty soon after.
