Training at an elite level is neither easy nor cheap. An average heavyweight male athlete spends as much at the grocery store as a family of 4, and has the added costs associated with training. I work as a Research Assistant and am working towards a PhD at UC Berkeley, and my stipend barely covers what I need to live. Financial gifts make the training I do possible, as well as ease the stress of training at this level.

 

Some of my 2015 expenses are:

Purchase and repair of 1X: $5,500

Flights associated with training trips and races: $3,000

2015 Worlds : $3,500

Oars: $700

Club fees: $200

 

The cost to CRC for the 2015 worlds is over $30,000
