Endeavor
ROWING CAMPS
offer extensive coaching to the individual and the crew as a whole
We understand that some clubs have limited ability to manage all their programs and coach every single athlete individually.
We want to be a support program that clubs can lean on, and individual athletes can depend upon to improve their technique and boat moving ability. Lesleh Anderson Wright, Canadian Olympian & coxswain started SteeringUwright as an independent organization to include rowers outside of her club in unique well run training camps that are targeted to improve individual athletes boat feel, understanding of boat speed and overall watermanship.
Lesleh’s passion for the sport and heart for the individual athlete shows in her attention to the athlete as a person first and rower next. Cassandra Cunningham, 1998 World Silver Medalist in the women’s 4x for the USA, as well as being a long time Junior National Team coach adds her expertise - and her uniquely joyful personality, creating a fabulous coaching experience. Lindsay Dare Shoop, 2008 Olympian and multiple time World Champion brings her heart for sport and education. Michael Irwin, Head Coach of the St. Joseph University Men’s Rowing Team brings with him a wealth of rowing experience & coaching experience.
We educate rowers of all ages on how to self correct, listen to the hull, and cue themselves to respond to the checks and sounds the boat gives them.
We are excited to help you get better, faster, stronger, all while enjoying a glass of wine on the beach in Italy or a peaceful rural farm scape in Portugal. Our domestic camps in Arizona, San Diego, Sarasota, and St. Catharines (or your home club) offer a similar experience with an added personal touch, while giving you the practical rowing education you are looking for at a location that works for you.
Pack your bags, we can't wait to work with you!
