TESTIMONIALS

"Mayrene is a true "rower-whisperer!" Maureen Cleary, Minneapolis RC

"I highly recommend Mayrene Earle's MastersCoaching camps. Every camp I attend brings my rowing to another level. Its not just the improvements that I 'know' I should make…it's the subtle things that I 'don't know' about until Mayrene coaches me that make a huge difference in my stroke. Mayrene's coaching style is positive and supportive, yet she does not hesitate to push me out of my comfort zone; I like that. Mayrene and Cox extraordinaire, Julie Gesch, are truly a master rower's 'coaching dream team'. If this sounds hard and serious – its not; both on and off the water we have great fun and loads of laughs together. I have so many great stories and wonderful memories about my camp experiences: the learning, the gorgeous venues, and most of all the wonderful people and enduring friendships." Mary Wynne-Wynter, Cambridge BC


						“I have learned more in four days than in four years of rowing. . . . My coach at home told me, after seeing me row a couple times, ‘That rowing camp you went to was worth every cent!’” Anne Ryken, St. Paul, Minnesota
