In this episode, Luke McGee, Head Coach for the Syracuse University Women’s Rowing Program, dives into his unique career as an athlete and coach of top men’s programs, including the US Men’s 8+, then taking those experiences with him to the women's rowing program at Syracuse, building a top NCAA program.

Key Takeaways:

• Starting at Syracuse - Transitioning from coaching top men’s programs, including the Men’s Olympic 8+, to taking over the Syracuse women and building a top program.

• Culture - Why culture is their foundation, and why rowers should ask themselves if this is the right culture for them to be successful.

• “Holistic” Recruiting - Asking questions to recruits to determine not just if they are the right athletic fit, but also if they will fit the school and Syracuse environment.
