Does this sound familiar?

“I want to get hired to coach rowing, but I don’t have any way to prove that I’m qualified to do it.”

“I see people rowing horribly in the gym. I want to help them, but I don’t want to give them bad or incorrect advice.”

“It’s been a dream of mine to teach. I need to perfect my form and learn how to coach effectively.”

“I’ve been teaching for a while but I feel like I’m getting less effective at it. I’m so sick of my own cues and the way I’ve been teaching. I need fresh ideas!”

Thank you so much to you and your team for such a memorable experience. The dedication from everyone within your business is second to none. I am beyond excited about the future as an indoor rowing coach and what can be done to help people of all abilities.

Dave Wykes, Australia

I thought the two-day virtual format was fantastic. Cassi and Nell were fantastic and I liked having two different instructors because it gives me a chance to learn different approaches/perspectives/phrases/explanations etc.
