023: Kevin Sauer | University of Virginia - “Passion” vs “Obsession” and an athlete first culture

Listen Later

In this episode we have Kevin Sauer, who is the head coach for the University of Virginia women’s rowing program, a two-time NCAA national champion coach, college coach of 10+ Olympians, and one of the most admired coaches in rowing!

This episode is a must listen for athletes and coaches, as we dive into…

  • Building UVA rowing from the ground up (literally!) and the evolution of NCAA women’s rowing and fully supported programs
  • How Kevin encourages athletes to be “passionate” about rowing, but not “obsessive” about rowing, and how that athlete first culture has driven their success
  • How Kevin “assesses” the success of his coaching by who his athletes become as people versus just winning races

    • You can learn more about Kevin and the UVA women’s rowing program on Instagram by following @UVArowing
