Al Acosta was a late starter.  He learned to row his freshman year of college, mainly because he heard they "had good parties".  Not long after, Al started his coaching career because of a conversation he had while sitting in traffic in Oakland.  Yes, this is a true story, you will have to listen for the details.  After starting the successful Stanford Lightweight Womens team, Al now finds himself leading the Cal Women.  This is a great conversation with a great coach!

Alex has a great conversation with Cornell head coach Todd Kennett!  They cover everything from throwing hay bales, to sled dogs, to why bringing back freshman rowing at the IRA level could be important.  Dont miss these great stories with Todd!

It all started in a dream.  No, seriously, Dave had a dream about it!  Without dreaming about being in a boat, and some determination, who knows where Syracuse Head Coach Dave Reischman might have ended up.  Dave started rowing at Gonzaga, and then got his coaching start under the legendary Harry Parker.  Now 21 seasons later, Dave has Syracuse Mens Rowing in as good of a position as they have ever been.

2023e4 - Chris Clark - Wisconsin
Chris Clark has been a staple in Wisconsin since the mid 1990s and has solidified himself as one of the best coaches in college rowing.  Originally from California, ending up in cold and snowy Madison, Wisconsin would have seemed very unlikely, but after catching the rowing bug at Orange Coast College, transferring to Cal and a short stint [living in a VW Van] at Navy, Chris found himself at Wisconsin and has been there ever since.  Dont miss this episode!
