What’s Inside Your Boat?



Charlie Jones covered Olympic crew, kayaking, and canoeing. He wasn't happy with the assignment. During an interview with an oarsman, Jones asked a question. The Olympian answered, "That's outside my boat." 

What matters is what's "inside your boat." Your teammates and coaches define your season...not polls, not clippings, certainly not this blog. 

Your belief in yourself and the team matters. You can never be better than your self-belief, the thousands of daily thoughts swirling in your head. 

Confidence balances arrogance and doubt. You earn the right to win. Bills coach Sean McDermott told his team years ago, "That’s what it gets back to in terms of earning the right to win. How we meet, how we talk, how we work out, how we practice when we do practice, how we play – that’s the standard we’re trying to get to every day.”

Melrose launches a string of competitive matches. Find out what's inside your boat. "In the end, I learned you really have to trust your crew."
