RECRUITING ADVISING for Aspiring College Rowers
Helping high school rowers, and their families, navigate the recruiting journey, own the college process, and find the right fit for you!
There is a college rowing program for EVERYONE
If you want to row in college, there is a program out there for you! With over 90 Division 1 women’s teams, to men’s programs at many of the best universities in the world, to the dozens of opportunity for men and women to complement high performing rowing with rigorous academics at elite Division 3 schools, there’s never been a better time to pursue collegiate rowing.
However, competition for spots on rosters has also elevated with the growth of the sport at the junior level, the increase in full scholarships available, as well as the growing interest in becoming a student-athlete at a first class academic institution.
Our Recruiting Advising will provide you and your family the guidance to navigate the landscape, understand the options available, communicate with coaches, and feel in total control of the process. With our hand-on and educational approach to college recruiting, we will help you find the confidence you need to make the best decision for you!
It’s YOUR recruiting journey. Here’s how we help…
Master the college rowing landscape.
Get a clear picture of the college rowing landscape by learning about the different tiers of college programs, what coaches look for in recruits, scholarship opportunities available, and the key indicators that tell you this is a program worth pursuing.
We will dive into your goals as a athlete, where you are today as a potential recruit, your school “pillars” to base our search on, and where to start as we create a realistic, but goal-oriented, list for you.
Learn how to tell your story.
What do coaches actually care about? What are they interested in learning about you? There are the “Facts & Figures” (2k score, size, academics, etc)— but what else can you share about yourself, both on and off the water, that can better elevate where you stand as a recruit today?
Compete in other sports? Lead any clubs at school? Past injury limiting your erg progress? You have a story to tell that speaks louder than just the numbers. We will help you deliver it to coaches!
How fast do I need to be to get recruited?
The 2k test on the Concept 2 ergometer is the rowing standard. This score, or comparable erg stats, will be one of the most important factors influencing which college coaches will speak with you. You need a competitive score to open the doorways at most D1 programs.
We will tell you exactly where your score tracks relative to the programs you are seeking, as well as provide coaching to help you progress towards those standards.
Develop relationships with coaches.
Don't wait for coaches to find you. Be proactive in your search and let’s make ourselves known to them. We will work with you to create initial outreach with coaches, stay on top of your updates, and help you build a relationship with the programs you are interested in.
Communication is key! We will help you start the conversation, create emails that stand out, maintain consistent contact, and demonstrate your interest to coaches via your ability to communicate effectively.
Find the right fit for you.
We will help you discover the school and program that provides the experience you are looking for academically, athletically, and personally. There is a college rowing program for everyone— however, that does not mean every program is for you.
The right fit means a rowing program where you can thrive both on and off the water, at a school that is academically fulfilling, and in an environment you can see as home for the next four years.
Let’s find the school that allows you to be successful in every aspect of your college experience.

"Kevin is an incredible resource for any rower considering college rowing. Kevin made the recruiting journey a clear process oriented around what I valued, and really supported me in deciding what I was looking for in a student-athlete experience. Not only did he help me build relationships with coaches and secure multiple Division 1 offers, he helped me pick a program and school that was 100% the best fit for me."

"Kevin’s guidance was instrumental in the college recruiting process for me. I absolutely would not be headed to Boston College for rowing at the D1 level without his support throughout the process. He never pressured me one way or another and was honest about my position and where I sat for a recruit. He informed me of the metrics that would place me in a better position, helped me narrow the search, and pointed me towards schools that would be a good fit."
