the ATT Coaches

Kevin Leslie

Founder & Head Coach

Prior to starting At The Thousand, Kevin spent 6 years as the assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the Saint Joseph’s University men’s rowing program.

Kevin was also a four year member of the SJU rowing program, beginning his rowing career as a college walk-on, without any prior rowing experience. After an amazing experience as a college rower, Kevin decided to pursue coaching full time.

In addition, Kevin has also served as a summer coach for the rowing camps at both the University of Wisconsin and Dartmouth College. He was also selected to moderate the first ever Intercollegiate Rowing Coaches Association Recruiting Panel, which was centered around college recruiting and helping athletes find the right fit for them.

Kevin still trains every day, having ran multiple marathons, strength training, and steppin’ into it on the erg every morning!
