"Coach G knows more about the sport than anyone that I’ve ever met. He single handedly walked in this year and set a new standard for our steady state numbers, and our team has not swayed since. The team’s quality in numbers and passion has been drastically different this year due to his inspirational talks and motivation. However, he does sugar coat things and during the spring season, he hyper focuses on his boat. His positivity can come off as disingenuous because it is incessant. Overall, though, he is the reason I’m the rower I am today."

"Coach G is a great coach in the sense that he is incredibly knowledgeable about the sport. He’s not the most honest person. If you go ask him what you can do to be out in a better boat he will tell you he’s considering you and thinks you should be in a higher boat but then nothing like that ever happens even if you do everything you need to. He definitely picks favorites and sugar coats things when you ask for an honest opinion. He is great at motivating and keeping team culture positive, but sometimes is only concerned with just his boat rather than the team as a whole even though he acts like he cares about team depth. He also doesn’t do anything if an athlete brings something negative that happened on the team and he ignores it usually if it’s someone in his boat. Overall a good coach but these things make some of us rowers feel overlooked and put down."

"Coach G is very passionate about rowing and is very knowledgeable and motivational. However, he sometimes is so passionate that he becomes irritable and difficult to be around."
