I'm Kristin
Hey there!
an online coach for junior rowers looking to get recruited to college. I'm also a Team USA Olympic athlete.
I help rowers all over the country through my training programs and one-on-one online mentoring.
what lights me up?
Teaching you simple, world class strategies to instantly gain speed. Giving you a leg up on the tools your high school coaches never taught you.
You know that chubby kid picked last in gym class? That was me. Uncoordinated, unathletic, and unmotivated. When I found rowing, I learned the power of a coach and team to motivate me.
Over my 15-year career, I represented Team USA at 7 World Championships, 7 World Cups, and won 5 international medals. At age 26, I made the Olympic team.
I mastered the strategies to pace a 2k on the erg, become mentally tough when it gets hard, eat well to fuel my body, and manage the stress of a high stakes environment.
Now, I'm passing all that knowledge on to you.
I never thought I’d get to the Olympic Games...
Whether that's getting recruited to college, making the top boat, getting voted captain, or hitting a 2k, 5k, or 6k PR, I help you become your best.
These days, I'm passionately mentoring high school rowers to reach new levels.
I’ve been honored to work with over 100 rowers on a
through one on one mentoring.
deep, transformative level
“My daughter followed Kristin’s training plan over the summer between her sophomore and junior year and came into the season stronger and faster than ever...she will be rowing at a D1 program in college.”
