RECRUITING CONSULTING for Aspiring College Rowers
Helping High School Rowers navigate the recruiting journey, take ownership of the process, and find the right fit for you!
It’s your college recruiting journey.
There is a college rowing program for everyone! 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.
The ATT Recruiting and College Planning services are here to help you navigate this journey, understand all the options available, and make the best decision for you! We provide start to finish guidance through the recruiting process so athletes can prioritize their passion for rowing, being the best student they can be, and feel more inspired than ever to find the right college “fit” for them!
The ATT Recruiting Blueprint
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 this is a program worth pursuing.
We will dive into your goals as a rower, your recruiting status today (recruiting/erg score standards), your school “pillars”, and where to start in developing your list of schools.
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, Height/Weight, Academics, etc.)… but what else can you share about yourself, both on and off the water?
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 your story to coaches!
How fast do I need to be to get recruited?
The 2000 meter C2 erg test 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. We will work with you to create initial outreach with coaches, stay on top of your updates, and help you establish a relationship with the programs you are interested in.
We will help you fill out recruiting questionnaires, create email templates, set a follow up/communication schedule, and begin building a connection with coaches.
Find the right fit for you.
Our goal is to find a school/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.
We want to help you find a program that will provide an environment where you can thrive for all four years of your rowing career, while also helping you set the path for success in your journey beyond college.
It’s about the fit first. That’s how we find lasting value from this sport.
Let’s Get Started!
To begin, schedule a Zoom Discovery Call below and fill out the Athlete Form with as much information as possible. The questionnaire will ask about your goals, where you are in the recruiting process, and what you are looking for as an aspiring college rower. This will set the stage for our first conversation!

"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."
