During an interview by US SAILING, the head coach of Stanford University's sailing team, John Vandemoer, was asked, "What are some of the challenges high school/summer sailors need to consider while making the transition to college sailing?"
John said, "I would ask all sailors coming into college sailing to learn to think outside the box. Sail lots of different boats with different crews and learn how to make a boat go fast. Try new things, learn from everyone and enjoy what you are doing. I love it when freshman come into the program with a resume which includes a Shields regatta, offshore sailing, skiff sailing, the top C420 event, etc."
