MastersCoaching Camps & Clinics
Row Cocoa Beach 2003: An Exhilarating Experience The first MastersCoaching intermediate sweep camp for women was a HUGE success. A great group of rowers turned out for the camp, which was held in Cocoa Beach, Fla., March 22 to 26, 2003. Everyone seemed to thrive on the combination of intensive rowing, creative drills, video analysis and technical instruction -- not to mention the camaraderie and good fun. The experience was enriched by the expert coxing of former NEMAC MVP Julie Gesch and the enthusiasm of camp manager Marilyn Watson. Here’s what several campers had to say about rowing with Mayrene: “I was trying to figure out how your camps are different from other camps, and I decided I like how you run camp, because you really care. You take the time and energy to get to know who is there and to learn about them. You make this camp, and it was wonderful. Thank You.” - Noreen Warren “Thank you for being the coach and person you are. If someone had told me I would be going to rowing camp with a bunch of computer people, microbiologists, science people and a future astronaut as a coxswain, and rowing at a 32, I would have asked what they were smoking! But you put us all together and made us gel. A few more practices and we'd be contenders!” - Laurie Walters Future Camps and Clinics: The success of Row Cocoa Beach has created demand for future MastersCoaching camps, so we’ve already begun making plans.
