When people think rowing, they don't often think Middle East, let alone Iraq or Afghanistan.
But Matt Trevithick, who rowed for Boston University does think it's possible.
He helped form a rowing community club in Northern Iraq.
Now, Trevithick's helping Afghanistan have its very own national rowing team.
