Gifted and Talented
Rowing is arguably the most successful Olympic sport in the UK. British Rowing is currently developing guidelines for the use of rowing as part of the Gifted and Talented programme.
In the meantime here are a few pointers:
- British Rowing recognises talented young officials from age 12 onwards
- British Rowing promotes skill development
- Fitness cannot be determined solely on a rowing machine
- Rowing on land or water is a late maturation activity
- Our Olympic talent identification programme works with young people over 15
