The ATT Team

Kevin Leslie

Founder | Coach | Recruiting Advisor

Kevin founded At The Thousand to provide high school rowers, from all over the country, the insights and direction needed to take ownership of their training, better navigate recruiting, and find the best college fit for them.

A former Division 1 rowing coach and recruiting coordinator for his alma mater, Saint Joseph’s University, Kevin is passionate about enlightening athletes on the value of college rowing, and what it takes to get recruited and find success at the next level. He prioritizes consistent communication, education for athletes and parents on each phase of the journey, and making the recruiting experience enjoyable and as smooth as possible.

Kevin also hosts the leading At The Thousand Podcast where he has welcomed dozens of elite college coaches, NCAA and Olympic medalists, and many of the top voices in rowing to give listeners performance, recruiting, and leadership insight directly from the best in the sport.

As a D1 rower at SJU, beginning his career as a college walk-on, Kevin’s love of rowing and fitness evolved into what it is today. Still training, Kevin’s competed in multiple marathons, lifts weights, trains Brazilian jiu-jitsu, as well as continuing to “step into it” on the erg every morning!
