Do you know your NCAA Calendar?

The NCAA Recruiting Calendar can be a nightmare of terms.  Understanding the NCAA Recruiting Periods is key to your athletic scholarship journey and recruiting timeline.  There are four periods: Contact Period, Evaluation Period, Quiet Period and Dead Period.  Each of these periods have strict rules on how, when and where the coach can contact  and meet the athlete and their parents.  For an extensive article on the topic, see below:

Rowing Scholarships and the ERG: Is the 2K all they are looking for?

Rowing Scholarships and the ERG:  Power is Key

ERG Power is the Key

So, going through this whole process with my daughter, we are at a D1 unofficial visit right now, and we talked with the coaches about ERGs, etc.  Of course the 2K ERG is a key determinant for scholarship eligibility in rowing, but we also talked about how coaches take total power into account.  So how do you test?

This test can be done by your coaches, and is a 10 second test where you row as hard and as fast as you can.  The resistance is set to high (200 on the CII), and max wattage is recorded.  Top performing high school men should be in the 6.5-8 range, and women in the 4.5-7.5 range.  I found a great overview article here:
