Sure, but here’s the thing, let’s take the analysis further (oh yeah I’m going for it). Because the equilibrium point is higher for less-popular sports like rowing, this means that selectivity decreases (it’s definitely not a constant). Relative to each sport (this is of course a theoretical and hard to measure concept), a rower does not have to be as good a rower as a football player has to be as good a football player to get recruited. If OP is sporty, might as well focus on that then. And I can tell you from experience, it’s sure not as intensive (to train to get recruited) as it is to get recruited for tennis or gymnastics or dancing or something (things that require extreme in and out of school training).</p>
<p>But whatever, the OP doesn’t seem to dig it. I’d suggest trying out the high school’s diving team, then, or beast swimming</p>
