and abilities. For example, I learned much of my selfconfidence as a young man when I guided whitewater rafting trips on the Colorado and Roaring Fork Rivers. As a guide, I was ultimately responsible for quickly training and then leading a group of paddlers on a whitewater rafting trip. I developed a degree of self-confidence that helped me to survive the challenges of college, work, and life in general. As a guide, I enjoyed witnessing a crew member ’s selfconfidence grow in a matter of a few hours on the river. Without a doubt, river running teaches self-confidence, necessary for success in any career. River running helps to build one’s problem-solving skills. Most well-planned river trips involve few real problems; however, an occasional safety situation arises that needs to be addressed. For example, I remember a whitewater rafting trip when I got off line in a major rapid and lost one of two large oars just seconds before descending into a half-mile stretch of continuous and intense whitewater on the Colorado River. Losing an oar before a major rapid is like a bird losing the use of its wing in mid-air: the problem needs to be solved quickly! I had to quickly and calmly instruct my crew to use their much smaller and less effective paddles to help navigate the first part of the rapid while I unstrapped the spare oar and slid it into the oarlock and regained control of the boat. This is just one of many examples where I needed to solve problems very quickly on a river-running adventure. All of these experiences have contributed to my development of the 72
problem-solving skills I use in my personal and professional endeavors. River running develops an appreciation for the everyday comforts we all too often take for granted. It’s human nature to take for granted the things that make our lives comfortable—electricity, plumbing, a house with a soft bed, to name a few, and there’s nothing like roughing it to make us appreciate these modern amenities. Our crew of five went without any modern amenities for two weeks when we floated the Colorado River 235 river miles down the Grand Canyon. We slept on thin sleeping pads, bathed in the silty Colorado River, and went to the bathroom in ammo cans that we carried with us for the entire trip. I would not trade that trip for anything, but I have to admit that a hot shower, a cold beer, a home-cooked meal, and a deep sleep in my own bed were wonderful experiences at the end of the trip! Without a doubt, river running gave us a whole new appr eciation for modern conveniences. My firsthand experiences on western rivers lead me to believe that river running teaches self-confidence, problemsolving skills, and an appreciation for our everyday comforts we all too often take for granted. I enc ourage everyone to strap on a life jacket, grab a paddle, and float a river. You’ll be amazed at the benefits. 73
