@twoinanddone At the beginning of the thread, GKparent said that her daughter was an eighth grader.
I’m out of my league here, and you all are giving great advice. This all makes me really thankful that my boys are rowers! As many of you have pointed out, this process starting so young just seems crazy. On the other hand, I’ve always felt that the busier teens are with activities, the safer they are from physical and emotional harm. Emailing and blind calling coaches beats posting endless bored selfies on instagram, I supppose!
