Our Coaches

We have a highly dedicated team of coaches who's main focuses throughout the season are to get each athlete to perform at their highest and compete at some of the highest levels of rowing. Our Head Coach, Sam Tuck, has a huge repertoire of success in the sport; not only does he have countless wins at head races and summer regattas, including two wins at Henley Royal, he also has success in the athletes he has coached. Almost the entirety of USBC's success can be attributed to Sam. He dedicates all his time in those who he coaches for athletes to get as much out of rowing as they put in.
