Rowing calms my brain. It's something that helps me learn good time management, my body feels good afterward, and it's helped make friendships that are not directly tied to school. It's also good for my incredibly competitive self to race in a sport where I actually have a chance of winning.
My coach always said the people who came to row came there because they were highly athletic, but extremely uncoordinated in anything involving a ball.
Engineers Row in Royal Regatta! ROW BLUE! From July 2-6, a squad of Michigan rowers will represent the Block M on the River Thames, an hour west of London. Seven of the twelve U-M oarsmen competing are engineering majors! More than 100,000 spectators, including much of the Royal Family, will be in attendance. umicheng.in/1iQLDL9
Amazing sport! It is excellent to harness the brain, calm it, and focus it. Unllke anything I i know of. Synchronization with coxswain and crew may have some hidden contribution.

+boy genius Only women's rowing is sanctioned by the NCAA at any school. Men's rowing isn't sanctioned by the NCAA at any school, and I don't know why.
great question as a major u rower in the NW we had a few engineers or less but it was a rowing program not an exercise program for engineering buddies. it's a rich kid thing at "M" although at heart I'm a blue from way back this is just like renting a boat on a lake an hour a day and Michigan has no rowing status unless they pay out of pocket to go to "London." I'm not sure what this video is other than to recruit a few to engineering program which seems low energy and a way to make nerdy guys more nerdy as if they qualify. It's a car design culture big deal get over it. Then ultimately less interesting. That guy in video is neither a rower nor a college student just a meandering person.
@@LaCaliffaEnnio Long time ago but good comment. They have water there somewhere but nobody wants to put in the work or drive there or it's a cultural thing. Maybe not big enough water. Usually the case.
It's not a real rowing boat very flexible and this as a rower is sad to watch. These are not guys who care about rowing just to avoid their stuff. Anyone can be an engineer or a rower. But this is just a weird recruitment video. All smiles? No. Sad sacks. Makes me sad for the Blue that this is up here.
I don't think there's a lot of people who know how difficult rowing is but engineering and rowing together.

This is such a beautiful sport !!!!!!! Love it
doesnt feel like it while ur rowing
Interesting some of the comments: "rowing is rewarding"; "rowing is good for my brain...". Go U-M!
As an engineer I love rowing because I can work out with my eyes closed. Just relax and settle into the rhythm… unlike my job 😂
I'm so glad I could do this in High School. I wasn't talented enough for any other sport.
Rowing would be a very positive thing in life and keeping the mind motivated
don't think I didn't notice the cake. 3:14
Talent is no stranger to here!
Great video. Not exactly The Boys in the Boat but commendable! Go Green !!!
This video is very good for my brain!!
