RSR Boathouse is the only virtual rowing community focused on your physical fitness, technical proficiency, and mental fortitude.

Our coaches are committed to the long term well-being of our athletes. We offer guidance, mentorship and accountability to give you the knowledge and support you need from junior rowing to collegiate and beyond!

Our lessons and tools support your athletic pursuits, but also your academic and future professional careers as well.

The Boathouse offers:

  • Ready Set Row

    “Ready Set Row® mental skills have taught me to love the hardest moments during training at practice. Even though it's been over 2 years since I trained with RSR Elite '21, I still remember the lessons we were taught about creating a new mental path in our head during the hardest parts of a workout. Instead of being scared of those hard moments, I've learned that those hard moments are an opportunity. The toughest moments make me a tougher person in the end.”

    RSR Elite ‘21

A VIRTUAL ROWING COMMUNITY COMMITTED TO PERFORMANCE & GROWTH

A community of athletes who are seeking to be the best they can be and the resources to help them achieve this. This includes technical rowing information, rowing strategy resources, mental skill lessons, strength and core, mobility and injury prevention, nutrition and much more!

Our content is aimed at junior athletes (aged 13 and up) and collegiate athletes (of all genders) who are challenged by the lack of access, knowledge, coaching, support and/or mentorship.

You will still row on your “home team” and train with your local teammates; we offer all the other pieces that will increase your performance and growth - for rowers and coxswains.

The RSR Boathouse is open! We are currently taking "Founding Members" at a discounted rate. Join today and you will get access to our library of resources and all of our upcoming live sessions!

We know you are busy! There is no required time commitment. Although there are LIVE coaching sessions, these will be recorded and accessible on the membership site so that you can watch them at your convenience.

We work with you to schedule Office Hours at the times which are convenient for you.

RSR Boathouse is open 24-7 and the other resources are available on demand.

ALWAYS HERE. ALWAYS OPEN.

A coxswain’s entire job is to maintain composure and safe execution under distress - so in short, yes! The RSR Mental Skills are applicable in every component of coxswain training: distress tolerance, high focus, pressure performance, emotional management, resilience and more!

The best coxswains are often former rowers and that is because they learned first hand how to row well and make changes. The technical lessons offered at RSR Boathouse are super helpful for coxswains who want to be a better on the water coach - which is your second priority after safety of the crew and equipment. And the nutrition, core stability and recruiting guidance are all relevant to being a better coxswain.
