I have coached rowing for over 20 years and have coached various sports for over 40 years. I love sharing my passion for my sport with others. There is so much that I love about rowing, from watching an athlete have that :aha!” moment to the solitude of rowing my single.

Liz Moore
Assistant Head Coach
US Rowing Level II Certification
My favorite thing about rowing is the community. Rowers work together and lift each other up. I love that about this sport.
I used to think winning a gold medal was the best feeling in the world. Now I know watching the people I coach go on to win gold medals is the best feeling. This sport taught me so much and I’m thankful to be able to pass that on!
You’re faster than you think.

Brooke McCulloch
Assistant Head Coach
US Rowing Level III Certification
I walked on to a D1 team in college with no prior athletic experience and I was hooked as soon as I sat in a boat and I’ve been competing ever since.
I love helping athletes develop leadership skills and confidence on and off the water. I have an “any boat, any seat, any time” mentality and love to cultivate a spirit of teamwork and community.

McKayla Wood
Assistant Coach
US Rowing Level I Certification
Rowing opened up so many doors for me when looking at colleges and rowing gave me an outlet - rowing is much more than just a sport to me and I want to provide that same sense of community and acceptance that I received as an athlete to the younger generations.
Rowing is about inches, it is about the inches you can reach for in every aspect of life. That little more you can give when it feels like you are at your limit.
