In crew there are 2 factors that are crucial in making boats fast: Erg scores and attendance. Fast guys on the erg are key in any season, on any team, and in any boat. Power = Fast. However, if fast guys don't show up to practice, that expected speed and power are lost.
What good are awesome guys if they're never there? Subtle jump, right?
Long distance is one thing in a relationship, but frequent contact is beyond necessary to sustain it. A great boyfriend isn't if he's not around. A guy who is around but is completely toxic is equally as bad. In terms of crew practice, you ideally want fast people around all the time. Can the same be expected in a dynamic relationship?
Now what about the coxswain side of things? I can be a great coxswain when I want to be, and a pretty angry one other times. I show up when I care, and not when I'm selfish. Sometimes I work on this relationship, and others not so much. However, something tells me that this is a not how relationships should work.
How can we get fast if there isn't a all-encompassing want to go fast? What if going fast isn't the only goal?
