Master Coaching

Testimonials

"Masters Coaching taught me that becoming a highly competitive rower was not out of my realm of possibilities. I was instructed thoughtfully; I was encouraged to ask questions; and I had so much fun that I was sad to see it all come to an end. If this were a yearly thing, I would look forward to it the same way I look forward to my favorite holidays."
Teina Lucas, Los Gatos Rowing Club

“Mayrene Earle is the most accepting, encouraging and positive coach I have ever had the privilege of being around. (I was a physical education major and teacher, so I’ve seen quite a few.) She coaches each person individually, seeing minute little things to improve that give big results. The drills worked on each part of the stroke until we put it all together and it resulted in a long, easy stroke that worked beautifully and really moved the boat. We came together as a crew! . . . I will attend Mayrene Earle’s clinics whenever I can.”
Carolyn Pope, Lemon Bay Crew, Sarasota, FL

“My coach said she could not believe how much I improved [at camp]. The camp by far has been the best thing I have ever experienced! It was so nice to be around people who had so much positive energy and zest for life. I can't even put into words how much I learned. . . . I felt like I was ready for the Olympics!”
Megan S., Minn.

“I feel remiss in not thanking you sooner for what I have been going around telling folks was absolutely a PEAK lifetime experience. You truly earned my trust. . . . And everything I learned (which was much) was truly secondary to the fact that I had a blast. You and your staff are amazing -- sort of like the perfect blend of expert technical coaching with a fun and loving psychotherapist at the helm.”
Donna T., Mass.

“We did our 4 x 2k's in shifts today, and some of the guys (fairly big rowing kahunas) were watching and pointing at me . . . while I was doing mine. After our workout they told me I had the best shoulder movement, opening at the catch, and upper body-arm-hand timing, and [they said], ‘Who the hell taught you that?’ So I told them . . . about the Great and Awesome coach Mayrene Earle, who can fix your stroke in 3 OTW sessions!”
Mary Wynne-Wynter, Cambridge, Mass.

“Mayrene Earle changed my life! I’ve been working out for over thirty years: I’ve participated in competitive sports, mountaineering expeditions, and professional training programs and seminars, but in a few short months, Mayrene has brought me to a place of personal growth and development I did not think possible at this stage of my life. She has helped me to formulate personal and professional goals, to identify my strengths and weaknesses, and to develop a plan for achieving those goals. And she made it fun! She is an exceptional coach -- inspiring, creative, patient, and compassionate. With her energy and enthusiasm, and her famous sense of humor, she combines technical expertise with thoughtful motivational methodology to create an unparalleled coaching experience. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She’s truly outstanding!”
Helen Fremont, Esq., Boston

“I want you to have feedback on your incredible people skills, your coaching talent and your positive outlook. You are the ‘Best.’ I had the time of my life, learned so much, not to mention that I grew 6 inches in one week. You have endless enthusiasm. You are warm, funny and brilliant in your teaching ability. You found positive in each and every one of us, even when all 8 blades were dropping in at different times. We never got discouraged because of the way in which you handled our errors. I like that in a person a lot, but it is invaluable in a coach. You have a gift, and thank you for sharing it with us.”
Jane Schmiege, Englewood, Fla.

“I've gotten so much from . . . your newsletter. I love that I'm able to translate the written advice to strokes on the water! I'm passing this issue on to my rowing partner in Waterloo. Your advice is easy to apply. Thanks!”
Deb Klingaman, Waterloo Rowing Club, Iowa


					“Once again a HUGE thank you Mayrene – for infectious belief that it is possible to throw together a crew and place in the Charles (2004 Head of the Charles Regatta). It gives me faith to know that other obstacles are surmountable. I look forward to future rowing experiences with your groups!!” Susan Sarantos, Ontario, Canada
