Rower Academy: Building Better Student Athletes
Rower Academy is an online and in-person coaching service that provides rowers and coxswains with the guidance, information, and training they need to improve their skills and successfully navigate the college recruiting process. Founded by Olympians Luke Walton and Kerry Simmonds, Rower Academy is dedicated to building better student athletes who are not only successful on the water but also in life.
With over 30 years of combined experience as rowers and coaches, Walton and Simmonds have a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed in this sport. They have competed at the highest levels of competition, including the Olympics, World Championships, and NCAA Championships. They have also coached at some of the top programs in the country, including Harvard University, Brown University, Stanford University, Princeton University, Georgetown University.
At Rower Academy, they offer a range of services designed to help rowers and coxswains achieve their goals. These include:
1. Online Coaching: Rower Academy offers personalized coaching plans that are tailored to each athlete's individual needs. These plans include video analysis of technique as well as strength training programs designed specifically for rowing.
2. In-Person Coaching: For those who prefer a more hands-on approach or live near one of Rower Academy's locations (Boston or San Francisco), they offer in-person coaching sessions with experienced coaches.
3. College Recruiting Guidance: One of the biggest challenges facing high school rowers is navigating the college recruiting process. At Rower Academy we provide guidance on how to create a strong recruiting profile that will get noticed by college coaches.
4. Coxswain Training: Coxswains play an essential role in any crew team but often receive less attention than their teammates when it comes to training resources. At Rower Academy we provide specialized training for coxswains so they can develop their skills both on land and on the water.
5. Rowing Information: Rower Academy provides a wealth of information on all aspects of rowing, from technique and training to nutrition and injury prevention. This information is available through our website, blog, and social media channels.
At Rower Academy, we believe that rowing is more than just a sport; it's a way of life. We are committed to helping our athletes develop not only their physical skills but also their mental toughness, discipline, and leadership abilities. Our goal is to build better student athletes who will go on to achieve success both on and off the water.
