UNC Experiential Spotlight: Team Concepts

Rowing — known as the ultimate team sport — is a metaphor particularly useful in assessing team dynamics, achieving flow and balance, and learning to modulate oneself in the context of a greater team or organization. With the help of Olympic athletes and members of the U.S. Rowing Hall of Fame, rowing is used to instill the inspirational leadership philosophy that motivates high performing teams. When done properly, rowing provides immediate tactile feedback that a team is aligned properly and working efficiently. Proper alignment and synchronized power application translate into increased boat speed and an effortless feel as the oar travels through the water. Team Concepts Rowing Experience gives participants an opportunity to: Lock into the team objective rather than their own individual agendas Grow their inspirational skill set in the context of aligning, motivating, and celebrating a team Put teamwork into practice as they learn to row under elite coaches Conclude the day with a 500-meter race between boats
