On the Water

“I found your one-on-one coaching to be invaluable in moving me forward as a rower.  Your observation and correction skills were specific, understandable and truly helpful.  I am no doubt a better rower as a result.“- A.T.

“Rowers at all levels of skill will enjoy lessons on the water with Jonathan.  He brings to his coaching a contagious enthusiasm for the sport along with knowledge of rowing technique from many years of study and experience.“- CE

“Jonathan loves to row, and is a generous, encouraging and knowledgeable teacher. Anyone new to the sport, or wishing to refine their skills, will benefit from a few hours on the water with Jonathan.“- RB

“Basically, I took a long hiatus from rowing because, I think, I felt I was not good enough. Your enthusiasm for the sport, and for all types of people to participate in it at all levels, has shown me a side of rowing I did not know existed before.

I like your coaching style because I think it focuses on the natural-ness of the stroke and trusting one’s instincts. It seems like a much more holistic, supportive approach, than just instruction. It feels like the changes you ask me to make in my stroke are coming from me, and that allows me to feel more confident about my abilities. Also, you make it about having fun. And you have fun. So the whole thing becomes tremendously appealing.“- JG
